Abstract

In wireless environments, simultaneous data transmissions over the same wireless channel lead to the collision problems, which may cause data loss. As a result, the performance of the random access (RA) mechanisms like the Slotted ALOHA is degraded dramatically. Lately, both Capture Effect (CE) and ZigZag Decoding (ZD) techniques have contributed to a huge improvement in Slotted ALOHA performance. These two techniques are based on retrieve packets from collisions. In this paper, we further enhance the Slotted ALOHA performance by combining the useful features of both CE and the ZD techniques. An analysis of the system based on a Markov chain model is presented, allowing us to derive the mathematical expressions of the performance metrics. The numerical results show that the proposed approach substantially improves system performance in terms of throughput and delay compared to other mechanisms reported in the literature.
