Abstract :
We investigate the effect of limiting the number of retransmission trials on the stability of slotted ALOHA systems with no capture effect. Using an argument of the catastrophe theory, we a prove that a slotted ALOHA system is mono-stable, if the number of retransmission trials is limited to, at most, eight. We also show how the bistable region is enlarged, as the number of retransmission trials grows over eight
