Analysis of a Multiaccess Control Scheme,

Abstract

The usual slotted ALOHA model, under the infinite source assumption and ternary feedback is considered. In more detail, there is an infinite number of stations and, at the beginning of any time slot, each station may have at most one packet to transmit. Any station with an available packet may decide to attempt transmission (possibly using a probabilistic rule) or to decide to defer this attempt for later. The objective is to find a probabilistic rule that lets each station decide at any give time, using only the information available to it, whether it will transmit or not (of course this rule will be used ony by those stations that have an available packet.) Keywords: Slots; Stochastic processes.
