Random Access Algorithms in Packet Networks—A Review of Three Research Decades
Anthony T. Burrell, Panayota Papantoni-Kazakos · International Journal of Communications Network and System Sciences · 2012
We present a coherent and systematic review of Random Access Algorithms for packet networks, as developed over three and a half decades. We consider the appropriate user models and we classify the algorithms according to the channel sensing constraints imposed. We also present a review of the analytical methodologies required for the performance analysis of these algorithms.
