Stack algorithm in mobile radio channels
J.A.M. Nijhof, R.D. Vossenaar, Ramjee Prasad · 2002
The performance of the stack algorithm in mobile radio channels with Rayleigh fading, shadowing and near-far effect is analysed. Three versions of the stack algorithm are taken into consideration, each with a different ability to distinguish between channel events in a previous time slot. The stack algorithm is described as a regenerative process. Throughput and delay characteristics are determined up to a critical traffic generation rate, where the mean packet delay and mean basic session length grow to infinity.>
