The effect of high-level acknowledgement traffic on the throughput of ALOHA channels
Abstract
The behavior of the throughput of an ALOHA channel is investigated, taking into account the effect of acknowledgement traffic when the acknowledgement mechanism is provided by high-level protocols. It is shown that the use of redundant ACK packets slightly increases the channel throughput.
