The FPBA algorithm with controlled capture

We introduce a new mixed priority scheme that utilizes the logarithmically equi-spaced random transmitter power levels (LESRTPL) model to control the assignment of the transmitter power levels, assigned to each priority class, whose contending over the wireless channel uses the framed pseudo-Bayesian Aloha (FPBA) algorithm to capture the channel. The wireless channel capture model includes Rayleigh fading, shadowing, and path loss. The performance of the algorithm is evaluated using simulation models. The results show that the new priority scheme offers significant improvement to the throughput and the waiting time of the different priority classes, especially to high priority class packets.
