Throughput Analysis of a Probabilistic Topology-Unaware TDMA MAC Policy for Ad-Hoc Networks
Overview The existing topology-unaware TDMA-based schemes are capable of providing a minimum guaranteed throughput by considering a deterministic policy for the utilization of the assigned scheduling time slots. In an earlier work, a probabilistic policy that utilizes the non-assigned slots according to an access probability, common for all nodes in the network, was proposed. The achievable throughput for a specific transmission under this policy was analyzed. In this paper, the system throughput is studied and the conditions under which the system throughput under the probabilistic policy is higher than that under the deterministic policy are established.
