Abstract :
A new protocol for a random access channel is proposed and evaluated. The channel is divided into a control subchannel, which is used to resolve conflicts between users, and a data subchannel, which is used to transmit the data. The protocol used to resolve conflicts is the best performance splitting protocol designed so far: Gallager´s first-come first-serve algorithm. The proposed protocol achieves an optimum performance in throughput and a very good performance in delay
