Judicious use of redundant transmissions in multichannel ALOHA networks with deadlines.

Judicious use of redundant transmissions in multichannel ALOHA networks with deadlines.

This paper shows how to improve the classic multichannel slotted ALOHA protocols by judiciously using redundant transmissions. The focus is on user-oriented requirements: a deadline along with a permissible probability of failing to meet it. Subject to satisfying those, maximization of capacity is t...
