This thesis analyzes the performance of successive interference cancellation (SIC) when used with multiple power, multichannel Aloha. We use the fluid model to analyze the performance of the system under various circumstances. We also simulate the performance of a SIC system over a single channel. SIC increases the throughput of a multiple power system up to around 100%. The results show that there is a maximum performance increase that can be achieved using predetermined transmission sequences. An infinite increase may be achieved using dynamic or random sequences.
