Satellite Packet Broadcasting to Very Small Earth Stations.

Abstract

This report analyzes the throughput of an ALOHA channel when compared to a conventional satellite point-to-point channel of the same average power. Results show that in the limit of large numbers of small earth stations, the ALOHA throughput reaches 100% of the point-to-point capacity. (Author)
