Optimizing a random access system by biased source blocking. (English) Zbl 0574.93069

The paper considers problems associated with control of a random access system. The dynamic flow model of a simple pure Aloha multiple access scheme is described, which serves as a basis for consideration of catastrophic system behaviour in the parameter space. Then the design of the optimal control system using the Pontryagin theory is discussed. The theoretical requirements for optimizing the system operation are formulated and the control scheme of ICP-type which complies with those requirements is presented.
