 * \brief an implementation of the AARF-CD algorithm
 * \ingroup wifi
 *
 * This algorithm was first described in "Efficient Collision Detection for Auto Rate Fallback
 * Algorithm". The implementation available here was done by Federico Maguolo for a very early
 * development version of ns-3. Federico died before merging this work in ns-3 itself so his code
 * was ported to ns-3 later without his supervision.
 *
 * This RAA does not support HT modes and will error
 * exit if the user tries to configure this RAA with a Wi-Fi MAC
 * that supports 802.11n or higher.

     * is the initial transmission of a packet or the retransmission of a packet.
     * The fundamental reason for this is that there is a backoff between each data
