Abstract
Random access is a key technology in satellite communication, as a large number of machine- type communication (MTC) terminals accessing the satellite makes it difficult to guarantee the access quality. Irregular repetition slotted ALOHA (IRSA) is one random access protocol relying on transmitting irregular number of replicas in multiple time slots, achieving a peak throughput at 0.8 in practical implementations. However, the probability of sending a certain number of replicas stays the same when given degree distribution, without considering the effects of different loads, which means there are extra useless packets sent and brings power waste in IRSA. Therefore, enhanced irregular repetition slotted ALOHA (EIRSA) based on tracking degree distribution control (TDDC) algorithm is proposed in this paper with adaptive degree distribution adjustment scheme to reduce the number of replicas while maintaining the same access performance with adaptation. Simulation results show that proposed protocol can achieve higher performance at the same power level and it is adaptive to load change.
