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

Contrast between real analytical results as Equation (7) and approximate analytical results as Equation (8) for short packet transmission: the greater is, the more precise the approximate analytical result is. The reason for which is that more closes to 1 when is greater. When blocklength , the approximate analytical SINR threshold , which is consistent with real analytical SINR threshold for infinite blocklength. Thus, the approximately analytical result is more accurate when blocklength increases.
