We consider a classical multiple access system with a single transmission channel, finite number of users (users), and randomized transmission protocol (ALOHA). We assume that every user sends messages to the base station with various…

The thesis is dedicated to studying methods to improve the efficiency of random access schemes and to facilitate their deployment in machine-type communications (MTC). First, a joint user activity identification and channel estimation…

Grant-free random access (GFRA) is now a popular protocol for large-scale wireless multiple access systems in order to reduce control signaling. Resource allocation in GFRA can be viewed as a form of frame slotted ALOHA, where a ubiquitous…

In many wireless communication networks a common channel is shared by multiple users who must compete to gain access to it. The operation of the network by self-interested and strategic users usually leads to the overuse of the channel…

We investigate the age of information (AoI) in a scenario where energy-harvesting devices send status updates to a gateway following the slotted ALOHA protocol and receive no feedback. We let the devices adjust the transmission…

In this paper, we study a layered random access scheme based on non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) to improve the throughput of multichannel ALOHA. At a receiver, successive interference cancellation (SIC) is carried out across layers to…

The advent of Machine-to-Machine communication has sparked a new wave of interest to random access protocols, especially in application to LTE Random Access (RA). By analogy with classical slotted ALOHA, state-of-the-art models LTE RA as a…

We present a comprehensive steady-state analysis of threshold-ALOHA, a distributed age-aware modification of slotted ALOHA proposed in recent literature. In threshold-ALOHA, each terminal suspends its transmissions until the Age of…

The use of Aloha-based Random Access protocols is interesting when channel sensing is either not possible or not convenient and the traffic from terminals is unpredictable and sporadic. In this paper an analytic model for packet…

In this paper, we design a new polar slotted ALOHA (PSA) protocol over the slot erasure channels, which uses polar coding to construct the identical slot pattern (SP) assembles within each active user and base station. A theoretical…

An information-theoretic approach to irregular repetition slotted ALOHA (IRSA) is proposed. In contrast with previous works, in which IRSA analysis is conducted only based on quantities that are typical of collision models such as the…

Recently, contention resolution diversity slotted ALOHA (CRDSA) has been introduced as a simple but effective improvement to slotted ALOHA. It relies on MAC burst repetitions and on interference cancellation to increase the normalized…

We study multiple base station, multi-access systems in which the user-base station adjacency is induced by geographical proximity. At each slot, each user transmits (is active) with a certain probability, independently of other users, and…

We evaluate a modification of irregular repetition slotted ALOHA (IRSA) involving intermediate decoding and early transmission termination by some nodes, upon their decoding success. This is meant to avoid unnecessary transmissions, thereby…

A finite length analysis is introduced for irregular repetition slotted ALOHA (IRSA) that enables to accurately estimate its performance in the moderate-to-high packet loss probability regime, i.e., in the so-called waterfall region. The…

In this paper we propose two analytically tractable stochastic models of non-slotted Aloha for Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks (MANETs): one model assumes a static pattern of nodes while the other assumes that the pattern of nodes varies over time.…

Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has been considered as a promising solution for improving the spectrum efficiency of next-generation wireless networks. In this paper, the performance of a p-persistent slotted ALOHA system in support…

In this paper, we review the key figures of merit to assess the performance of advanced random access (RA) schemes exploiting physical layer coding, repetitions and collision resolution techniques. We then investigate RA modeling aspects…

Flanking traditional metrics such as throughput and reliability, age of information (AoI) is emerging as a fundamental tool to capture the performance of IoT systems. In this context, we focus on a setup in which a large number of nodes…

Slotted ALOHA can benefit from physical-layer network coding (PNC) by decoding one or multiple linear combinations of the packets simultaneously transmitted in a timeslot, forming a system of linear equations. Different systems of linear…
