Indoor Slotted-ALOHA Protocols Using a Smart Antenna Basestation
Abstract
In this paper we consider the reverse-linkcapacity performance of indoor Slotted-ALOHA protocolsadapted for use with a multibeam smart antenna (SDMA)basestation. When SDMA is used in this application, the basestation attempts to transmit or receivemultiple packets simultaneously using its antenna array.S-ALOHA protocols are well suited for this purpose sincethey permit simultaneous station transmission more readily compared with conventional …
