Design and Performance Evaluation of Successive Interference Cancellation-Based Pure Aloha for Internet-of-Things Networks

This paper presents the design and performance evaluation of successive interference cancellation (SIC)-based pure Aloha (PA) for Internet-of-Things (IoT) networks. To this end, a window-based SIC algorithm is presented. A throughput model of the SIC-based PA is developed and analyzed to study both throughput and packet delivery ratio (PDR) performance metrics. The numerical results show that high throughput gain can be achieved in PA, thanks to...
