Abstract
We report an investigation into the effect of using smart antennas on the performance of the slotted ALOHA protocol with capture in a mobile communications environment with Rayleigh and log-normal fading. Our results demonstrate that by using smart antennas, we can achieve higher performance in terms of capture probability and throughput when compared to a conventional antenna system using the slotted ALOHA protocol
