Abstract

        We consider finite population slotted ALOHA where each of n terminals has its own transmission probability p_i. Given the overall traffic load lambda, the probabilities p_i are determined in such a way as to maximize throughput. This is achieved by solving a constrained optimization problem. The results of Abramson [2] are obtained as a special case. Our recent results [4] are improved.
