A limited sensing protocol for multiuser packet radio systems

A protocol for a multiuser packet radio communication channel is proposed. The basic functions of this protocol are determined by a modified stack-type limited sensing collision resolution algorithm. The protocol is a hybrid of a pure random-access scheme and a reservation scheme. A message consists of a number of packets that are capable of revealing the current activity of the channel. The performance of the system is investigated in terms of throughput and average message delay and analytical results are provided.<
