Abstract

In this paper we consider a centralized cross-layer splitting algorithm of a multi-packet reception slotted ALOHA system for contention resolution. In the algorithm, a base station estimates the number of backlogged mobile terminals by using a first-order auto-regressive (AR) model based on the number of packets successfully transmitted over previous contention resolution intervals (CRIs). Estimation errors are continuously corrected every slot during a CRI by exploiting multiple access interference (MAI). The retransmission probability broadcasted to MTs every slot is optimized to maximize the system throughput. The performance of this algorithm is analyzed in terms of throughput and delay, and verified by simulations. The algorithm shows around 60% throughput efficiency compared to the maximum achievable throughput.
