| contents | This letter evaluates the performance of the slotted Aloha protocol defined by the European Telecommunication Standard Institute (ETSI) SmartBAN specification, under saturation conditions. For this purpose, we develop a two-dimensional Discrete Time Markov Chain (DTMC) to model the operational details of the protocol and assess its performance in terms of saturation throughput and average end-to-end delay. The accuracy of the proposed model is validated by means of simulation which reveals a very good match among theoretical and simulation results. The model can be used for protocol performance prediction and optimization purposes. |
