A Simple, Accurate Method for Throughput Analysis of Unslotted CDMA Packet Networks

A theoretical model for describing multiple access interference (MAI) in unslotted CDMA packet networks is presented, and a novel recursive method for throughput analysis of unslotted CDMA packet networks is proposed. Moreover, the impact of spreading gain on throughput performance is discussed. Furthermore, the throughput bounds of unslotted CDMA packet networks are considered by the extension of the proposed method. In comparison with the Markov model of MAI discussed in [7]-[11], the proposed method is more accurate, and more generalized in evaluating the throughput performance of unslotted CDMA packet networks.
