Zusammenfassung:	A method for generating a random time interval suited for use in defining re-transmission time intervals so as to avoid communication contention utilizes at least one external seed and a plurality of linear maximal sequences. According to one embodiment, a first seed is provided and a first linear maximal sequence is initialized therewith. A second seed is generated via cooperation of the first linear maximal sequence and the external signal. At least one second linear maximal sequence is initialized with the second seed. A new time interval is started when the second linear maximal sequence sequences to a predetermined value.
