Abstract

We present a performance analysis of the slotted Aloha scheme as a channel access method for a hybrid medium access control (MAC) protocol for multimedia wireless networks. The performance of this Aloha (embedded Aloha) scheme is compared with the stand-alone Aloha scheme and some useful results and conclusions are drawn. In addition, the importance of some performance measures are identified and their impact on QoS provisioning is defined
