Enhanced throughput in packet radio channels with shadowing
Ramjee Prasad, Jens C. Arnbak · Electronics Letters · 1988
The throughput of a slotted-ALOHA radio channel with lognormal shadowing has been derived. Uncorrelated packet shadowing is shown to assist receiver capture, so that the throughput always exceeds the throughput obtained in both ‘ideal’ channels and channels with pure Rayleigh fading.
