L_{\min}\geq 2RT_pLaTeX: L_{\min}\geq 2RT_p

R=bits/s; Tp=one-way seconds. Theoretical collision-detection bound.

k=\min(n,10),\quad 0\leq K\leq 2^k-1LaTeX: k=\min(n,10),\quad 0\leq K\leq 2^k-1

n collisions; K selected integer for classic Ethernet backoff.

T_{\mathrm{backoff}}=KT_{\mathrm{slot}}LaTeX: T_{\mathrm{backoff}}=KT_{\mathrm{slot}}

Multiply selected K by slot duration, retaining units.
