why vulnerable time in pure aloha is not tp

My question is- Why that is not true in the case of Aloha ?. Why we do not have the same vulnerable time in Aloha? That question has already been asked but no responses.- Vulnerable Time in ALOHA

Why analysis of Aloha protocol uses Poisson distribution?

Pretty much in all of the analysis of the Aloha protocol that I read, it is assumed that the distribution of packet arrivals is Poisson. What is the rationale behind it? …

Small doubt in vulnerable time of CSMA/CD and pure aloha

Even in pure aloha, I understand how is vulnerable time 2*Tt time is derived. Here Tt is transmission time. … My doubt is why don't we add or consider Tp time in pure aloha and Tt time in CSMA/CD when calculating vulnerable time. Why are we ignoring it ? …

Why is the throughput (performance) of the Aloha protocol ≈ 0.18?

I've read in a few places (like here that the throughput - that is, the amount of good useful messages relative to capacity - of the ALOHA protocol for networks is roughly 0.18%. …

Aggregate Rate and Poisson Process in Aloha

I'm having a hard time understanding what is mean't by the aggregrate rate $\lambda$ and what it means for throughput in unslotted and slotted Aloha protocols. …

Why is the throughput (performance) of the Slotted Aloha protocol ≈ 0.36

I've read that the throughput - that is, the amount of good useful messages relative to capacity - of the Slotted ALOHA protocol for communication networks is roughly 0.36%. …

The throughput of the ALOHA protocol if the Binomial distribution was used

In all the examples of ALOHA I've seen, the Poisson distribution is used. Theoretically, how could the throughput be calculated if a Binomial distribution was used instead? …

Why does Slotted Aloha work?

So the way I understand it, if station A and station B, for example, try to transmit a frame at the same slot, a collision occurs, leading to an attempt at the next slot. But wouldn't the algorithm ju …

MAC protocol with throughput of 1

Consider a MAC protocol (ALOHA, CSMA, TDMA, etc.) that, even for very high loads, always results in a throughput of 1 (normalized with respect to the channel speed). …

Why is the vulnerable time in pure aloha twice the frame time?

The time required to send a frame is called frame time. Vulnerable time is the time during which no transmission should be done to avoid any collision. My question is what kind of problem will be c …

Network throughput with random delay selected from uniform distribution

The maximum delay $D$ is a variable which should be tuned to maximise network throughput (akin to ALOHA). Problem: I'm trying to derive an expression for the network throughput. … I can't find any material on ALOHA with periodic transmissions, and can only find material where the probability of transmitting is poisson, and where each transmission is independent of the last. …

Probability of Success in Slotted Medium Access

Slotted Aloha). There are $N$ nodes each transmitting in a given slot with probability $p$. I understand that the probability a node is successful in a slot is $p(1 - p)^{N-1}$. …
