Decentralized Power Control for an ALOHA-Type Random Multiple Access System with Short Packet Transmission

Figure 1

An example of Slotted ALOHA protocol based on SIC: packet can be resolved in slot 4, and the replica of can be removed from slot 1 and slot . Now, in slot 1, there is only packet and it can be resolved. Meanwhile, the replicas of packet can be eliminated from slot . Thus, can be recovered. At the same way, packet and its replicas can removed from slot 2. Finally, there is only packet in slot 2, and it can be recovered.
