Abstract
We consider some access protocols for Aloha type multiaccess channels. We argue, and show in an important case, that they can be modified to allow new transmitters to join the system at arbitrary times. This feature, known as "limited sensing" or "continuous entry," need not reduce throughput performances. In the case presented, the modified algorithm is also robust with respect to feedback errors.
