On achieving a throughput of one for a random access channel with collisions of known multiplicity

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

We consider the problem of a group of users sharing a common communication channel. The channel is slotted and the slot size corresponds to a packet length. At the end of each slot, every user is informed whether the slot was idle, contained a successful packet transmission, or experienced a collision of multiplicity k, k ≥ 2. Throughput is defined to be the expected fraction of slots with successful transmissions. It has been shown, via a non-constructive proof, that a throughput of one can be achieved. We will present a collision resolution algorithm (CRA) which achieves, in the limit, a throughput of one.
