Abstract :
A method proposed by Metzner (1976) for improving the utilisation in ALOHA systems involves dividing the users into different power groups. This was analysed assuming that a packet can withstand interference from an unlimited number of packets from lower-power groups. The performance of such a scheme when only a limited number of interferers can be tolerated is examined in this paper
