Abstract

A probabilistic medium-access control (MAC) protocol is proposed for an uncoordinated network of nodes with multipacket reception (MPR) capability at the receiver. The protocol uses binary feedback at the end of each time slot and uses an extended Kalman filter (EKF) to compute an estimate of the number of currently active nodes in the service area. The estimate is then used to optimize the expected system throughput by adjusting the medium access probability of each node. Simulations show that the proposed MAC protocol succeeds in tracking the number of nodes and achieving near-optimal throughput performance.
