Abstract

A packet radio network with a central station (SC) is presented and analyzed. Four models of the CS with different buffer configurations and different service priorities are investigated. The throughput-delay performance is obtained by a steady-state analysis assuming the equilibrium conditions of a Markov chain. The performance parameters are particularly related to the local subnetwork, in which a transmission strategy called the station priority scheme (SPS) is used. It is shown that the SPS that operates on a single slotted radio channel is an effective means of randomly accessing packet radio channels
