Slotted Aloha performance in a Rician fading environment
Wen-Chieh Lo, P. L. Camwell · 2003
Problems facing packet radio networks operating within buildings are outlined. The performance of the Aloha protocol in Rician fading channels with receiver capture and diversity is studied. The performance is found to be similar to Rayleigh channels for environments with a high variation in shadow losses but inferior to Rayleigh channels for environments with low variation in shadow losses.>
