We present a comprehensive steady-state analysis of threshold-ALOHA, a distributed age-aware modification of slotted ALOHA proposed in recent literature. In threshold-ALOHA, each terminal suspends its transmissions until the Age of Information (AoI) of the status update flow it is sending reaches a certain threshold $Gamma$. Once the age exceeds $Gamma$, the terminal attempts transmission with constant probability $tau$ in each slot, as in standard slotted ALOHA. We analyze the time-average expected AoI attained by this policy, and explore its scaling with network size, $n$. We derive the probability distribution of the number of active users at steady state, and show that as network size increases the policy converges to one that runs slotted ALOHA with fewer sources: on average about one fifth of the users is active at any time. We obtain an expression for steady-state expected AoI and use this to optimize the parameters $Gamma$ and $tau$, resolving the conjectures in cite{doga} by confirming that the optimal age threshold and transmission probability are $2.2n$ and $4.69/n$, respectively. We find that the optimal AoI scales with the network size as $1.4169n$, which is almost half the minimum AoI achievable with slotted ALOHA, while the loss from the maximum throughput of $e^{-1}$ remains below $1%$. We compare the performance of this rudimentary algorithm to that of the SAT policy that dynamically adapts its transmission probabilities.
Slotted ALOHA can benefit from physical-layer network coding (PNC) by decoding one or multiple linear combinations of the packets simultaneously transmitted in a timeslot, forming a system of linear equations. Different systems of linear equations ar
In this paper, we design a new polar slotted ALOHA (PSA) protocol over the slot erasure channels, which uses polar coding to construct the identical slot pattern (SP) assembles within each active user and base station. A theoretical analysis framewor
Multiple connected devices sharing common wireless resources might create interference if they access the channel simultaneously. Medium access control (MAC) protocols gener- ally regulate the access of the devices to the shared channel to limit sign
We introduce Mini Slotted Threshold-ALOHA (MiSTA), a slotted ALOHA modification designed to minimize the time average Age of Information (AoI) achieved in the network while also increasing throughput. In MiSTA, sources with age below a certain thresh
This letter analyzes a class of information freshness metrics for large IoT systems in which terminals employ slotted ALOHA to access a common channel. Considering a Gilbert- Elliot channel model, information freshness is evaluated through a penalty
