  • Abstract
    A decentralized multiple access system in which m \\geq 2 collided users employ a random access protocol is considered. Maximum entropy considerations are used to select the appropriate timeout distribution under various moment constraints. This analysis extends and corrects an earlier result for m = 2 .
