The dynamic queue protocol for spread spectrum random access networks

The dynamic queue MAC protocol is designed explicitly for networks with multipacket reception (MPR). It provides efficient channel utilization with a simple on-line implementation. In this paper, we present an analysis of the steady-state performance of the dynamic queue protocol. Its throughput and normalized throughput in CDMA networks are studied and compared to that of the optimal MAC and the slotted ALOHA with optimal retransmission probability.
