Abstract

This work analyzes reservation request access delay in reservation multiple access protocols in light of frame contention slot allocation. Variations of the reservation MAC protocol are widely used in local and cellular network technologies. We derive an analytical model for access delay of reservation request packets that reflects the impact of per-frame number of contention slots on access delay of a request packet. We obtain insightful observations on this relation and as a result show that a new family of delay and throughput constrained dynamic contention slot allocation schemes can be developed.
