Abstract
Techniques are described for wireless communication. One method includes implementing, at a first node, a first access protocol to contend for access to a wireless communication medium shared by a plurality of nodes; determining whether a triggering event has occurred; and implementing, at the first node, a second access protocol to contend for access to the wireless communication medium based at least in part on a determination that the triggering event has occurred.
