Abstract
An apparatus may include a processor circuit and an adaptive access module operable on the processor circuit to schedule broadcast of random access resources to access a radio network and to adaptively adjust an initial backoff window size for access signaling to the radio network during an access period. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.

1-32. (canceled)
An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor circuit;
- and
- an adaptive access module operable on the processor circuit to adaptively adjust a backoff window size used for access signaling to a radio network during an access period based on access loading estimates of a random access load from multiple machine to machine (M2M) devices in communication with a radio network, the backoff window size comprising a wait time for retry of transmission by two or more M2M devices when a collision occurs between communications from the two or more M2M devices.
A method, comprising:
- scheduling broadcast of random access resources for a radio network over a first period;
- receiving random access information from one or more accessing devices;
- and
- adaptively adjusting an initial backoff window size for access signaling to the radio network during a second period based on the received random access information, the initial backoff window size comprising a wait time for retry of a transmission by two or more accessing devices when a collision occurs between communications from the two or more accessing devices.
At least one computer-readable storage medium comprising a plurality of instructions that, when executed, cause a system to adaptively adjust a backoff window size used for access signaling to a radio network during an access period based on access loading estimates of a random access load from multiple machine to machine (M2M) devices in communication with a radio network, the backoff window size comprising a wait time for retry of transmission by two or more M2M devices when a collision occurs between communications from the two or more M2M devices.
