| Dec 18, 2014 at 1:58 | comment | added | Helium | Why "However, it is not the rationale behind the Aloha protocol"? Each of $n$ users transmit with probability $p$. So, the probability of $k$ transmission (=$k$ success) follows binomial distribution, wrong? But, I agree that Poisson is more mathematically tractable. | |
