Abstract :
CDMA provides new ways of allocating network resources to network nodes so as to match nonuniform traffic requirements. The enhancement of a node´s throughput as a result of equipping it with several receivers, several transmitters or both is studied for the slotted ALOHA access scheme. It is also shown that funneling all of a node´s inbound traffic via two of its neighbors can increase that node´s inbound throughput put by up to 36% without any additional hardware and with simple and robust protocol support.
