Throughput performance analysis of multirate, multiclass S-ALOHA OFFH-CDMA packet networks

摘要

In this paper, we propose a new throughput expression for multirate, multiclass slotted-ALOHA optical fast frequency hopping code-division multiple-access (OFFH-CDMA) packet networks considering a Poisson distribution for packet composite arrivals. We analyze the packet throughput performance of a three-class OFFH-CDMA network, where multirate transmissions are achieved via manipulation of the user's code parameters. It is shown that users transmitting at low rates interfere considerably in the performance of high rate users. Finally, we perform a validation procedure to demonstrate that the proposed multirate throughput expression converges towards the single rate expression (considered as the network limiting case).
