Its CSMA/CA not CSMA/CD so it is collision avoidance.

Typically this kind of thing is implemented in h/w.   You don't specify
what h/w you are using...   (Yes, it would have been helpful if you told us
the specifics of what h/w you are using).   So I'm assuming the telosb with
the cc2420 radio.

the cc2420 hardware does Clear Channel Assessment and provides status bits
that tell the driver what is happening.  I believe if the channel is busy
it is up to the driver to handle the back off.

I would suggest you take a look at the cc2420 manual (pg 50) and look at
the cc2420 driver where it deals with CCA and possibly the STXONCCA command
strobe.
