1. A method for estimating packet collisions within a wireless network, comprising:

  • for each transmit packet an Access Point (AP) of the network records statistics about transmission of information;

    based on this statistical information the AP computes;

    Total number of slot times generated during the transmission, n;

    Total number of deferrals, m; and

    Total number of unsuccessful transmissions, Q;

    using sequences (m,n,Q) of statistics for each access category (AC), the AP computes the probability of collision for unsuccessful packets, p, for each access category.
