ReTxCnt:
This counter keeps track of the number of times a
retransmission has occurred. The final count is loaded in statistics
vectors. It should only be written for test purposes, such as speeding
up simulation time.

times in collision backoff. It should only be written for test purposes,
such as loading a predictable number to it rather than random.
