Abstract :
The application of unslotted ALOHA to mobile communication systems is studied. In such systems, the terminal-to-base channel can undergo various types of fade such as shadowing (log-normal fading) or unshadowed multipath reflections with a direct component (Rician fading), or the near/far effect. It is shown that fading may give rise to a capture effect that improves the ALOHA throughput
