Abstract

During the course of packet access, the demanded spectrum resources are available in the manner of random contention by each user, which could bring collisions among users and waste of resources, also cause degradation of system performance. In this paper, a capture-based method is proposed, when there are multiple packets in a slot, this method still has probability of capturing a certain packet, which can efficiently utilize resources at high traffic load. Performance analysis and numerical results show that the proposed capture-based method could improve system performance.
