Analysis of Multi-Channel and Slotted Random Multi-Access Protocol with Two-Dimensional Probability for Ad Hoc Network

A higher quality of service (QoS) is provided for ad hoc networks through a multi-channel and slotted random multi-access (MSRM) protocol with two-dimensional probability. For this protocol, the system time is slotted into a time slot with high channel utilization realized by the choice of two parameters p1 and p2, and the channel load equilibrium. The protocol analyzes the throughput of the MSRM protocol for a load equilibrium state and the throughput based on priority. Simulations agree with the theoretical analysis. The simulations also show that the slotted-time system is better than the continuous-time system.
