you usually get retransmission on collision from the hardware ( or the driver ).
( ethernet i am certain about, no firm knowledge about wlan though )
This would be independent of the protocol used.
this might help ( look for collision .. RTS/CTS packet ):

From my side this is an absolutely blind guess. But it could
well be a point to look at before trying to find an app bug
that may not be there.
