“…In [13], a two-dimensional Markov chain was used to evaluate the performance of the Slotted ALOHA (SA) and Slotted ALOHA combined with ZigZag Decoding (SA-ZD) protocols in a network with cooperative and selfish users sharing the same wireless channel. The authors found that both protocols performed best with cooperation, but the SA-ZD protocol outperformed SA in all performance metrics.…”

Hybrid ALOHA is a novel Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol that aims to enhance energy efficiency and packet delivery performance in wireless communication networks. This paper leverages mathematical models and analysis techniques from game theory and Markov chain modeling to investigate the performance of the hybrid ALOHA protocol under cooperative and non-cooperative scenarios. We first evaluate the protocol in a team problem, where all users act cooperatively to optimize the global utility of the system, and then in a non-cooperative game, where each user acts in their own self-interest and aims to access the channel by utilizing a higher retransmission probability, which they believe will optimize their own benefits. The use of Markov chain analysis enables the derivation of analytical expressions for the performance metrics of interest, as well as the determination of optimal and equilibrium retransmission probabilities. Additionally, the game theory approach is used to analyze the distribution of retransmission probabilities in the hybrid ALOHA protocol. Throughout an extensive numerical analysis, we show that the hybrid ALOHA protocol out-performs other ALOHA protocols in terms of all performance metrics, for both cooperative and non-cooperative scenarios. Additionally, we provide insights into the retransmission probabilities that optimize the performance metrics of interest for both scenarios.

In this paper, we present a new MAC (Medium Access Control) protocol, called Hybrid ALOHA (H-ALOHA), which is a combination of two existing protocols: Pure ALOHA (P-ALOHA) protocol and Slotted ALOHA (S-ALOHA) protocol. The idea behind it is to design a MAC protocol that could meet some specific requirements in wireless networks, such as reducing energy consumption, delay minimization, and increasing the throughput. To the best of our knowledge, the S-ALOHA protocol is an improved version of P-ALOHA. However, during one single transmission scenario, P-ALOHA works better than S-ALOHA in terms of energy consumption and packet delivery. Motivated by that fact, we combine these two protocols, resulting in a hybrid ALOHA. A finite-state Markovian model is proposed to study the steady-state performance of H-ALOHA including normalized throughput, backlogged throughput, access delay, backlogged delay, and energy consumption. The proposed hybrid protocol has been compared with the S-ALOHA protocol. The simulation results show that the proposed hybrid protocol outperforms all ALOHA protocols. On average, the proposed protocol outperforms the S-ALOHA protocol by 60% in terms of normalized throughput, by 15% in terms of access delay, and by 23% in terms of total energy consumed during the transmission process.

“…There are two types of game theory for decision-making: cooperative and non-cooperative games (Mirzaei-Nodoushan et al, 2022). The main distinction between the two is that non-cooperative game theory is chiefly about maximizing participant's interests through the optimization process of their decision and therefore does not have binding agreements between players (Huang & Li, 2022), while cooperative game theory is actually mainly based on agreements for the allocation of participatory benefits (Parrachino et al, 2006) and leads to the best performance (Boujnoui et al, 2022).…”
