Abstract :
This paper shows how the diversity slotted ALOHA multiple access scheme can very simply be extended to offer a premium quality of service to a subset of users. Diversity slotted ALOHA is a generalization of the classic slotted ALOHA in which a user transmits multiple copies of the same message. Premium users obtain a better quality of service by utilizing higher diversity, that is, by transmitting more copies of their messages than basic users
