In this survey paper, we review the random access (RA) techniques with particular emphasis
on the issues and the possible solutions applicable to satellite networks. RA dates back to …

In this paper a new multiple access scheme dubbed contention resolution diversity slotted
ALOHA (CRDSA) is introduced and its performance and implementation are thoroughly …

This manuscript provides a general analytical framework to accurately predict the
performance of several slotted Random Access (RA) schemes such as Slotted Aloha and …

In this paper, a novel enhancement of the well known ALOHA random access mechanism is
presented which largely extends the achievable throughput compared to traditional ALOHA …

In this paper we review key properties of recently proposed high performance protocols for
Random Access (RA) satellite channels for both Time Division and Code Division Multiple …

There is an urgent demand for massive machine-type terminals to have access into time-
division multiple access (TDMA)-based satellite networks by means of random multiple …

This two‐part paper presents a comprehensive overview on the technology of very small
aperture terminal (VSAT)‐based satellite data networks, which have received increasing …

Recently, random access protocols have acquired a new wave of interest, not only from the
satellite communication community, but also from researchers active in fields, such as …

A generalization of the slotted ALOHA random access scheme is considered in which a user
transmits multiple copies of the same packet. The multiple copies can be either transmitted …

In this paper, we introduce Multi-Slots Coded ALOHA (MuSCA) as a multiple random access
method for satellite communications. This scheme can be considered as a generalization of …
