<p>Mobile ad hoc networks are designed to maintain communication among the independent nodes without a server or base station. High efficient MAC protocol takes a major role to maintain collision free, bandwidth efficient communication among the networked nodes. Collisions among the nodes provide considerable reduction in the performance of the network. The objective of the work is to provide collision aware cooperative MAC protocol design by modifying the backoff to a specific range. It improves the throughput and reduces delay with less collision rate. It minimizes the complexity of the problem arising in memory and processing.</p>
