One-Success Access Without Feedback for a Bounded Number of Active Stations

Abstract

We consider a random multi-access system, where T active stations among M stations contend for transmission over a common medium in L minislots. Each active station transmits in a subset of these minislots, the subsets chosen by the stations being mutually independent. A success is said to occur if during at least one minislot there is a single transmission; otherwise, a failure occurs. We seek transmission policies which minimize the probability of failure. We investigate a transmission strategy which is suitable if the number of active stations T is unknown but bounded by some number T sub 0. We derive performance bounds for the strategy and suggest particular choices of parameters for the strategy for given values of L and T sub 0.
