Neighbor Discovery and Link Estimation (NDLE) phase and Collection Tree Construction (CTC) phase are essential for correct and efficient operation of network protocols. However, the accuracy of these phases is highly affected by packet collisions, because CSMA is used for access arbitration and it d...
