Simulation of Key Multiple Access Protocols in Wireless Communication Systems

Resource Overview

This system conducts simulations of several critical multiple access protocols in wireless communications, including pure-ALOHA, slotted-ALOHA, CSMA, and ISMA, with detailed analysis of their signal-to-noise ratio versus bit error rate relationships. The implementation involves protocol state machines, collision detection algorithms, and performance metric calculations through MATLAB-based discrete event simulation.

Detailed Documentation

The system performs simulation studies on several important multiple access protocols in wireless communications. Our implementation includes not only simulations of pure-ALOHA, slotted-ALOHA, CSMA, and ISMA protocols, but also detailed analysis of their SNR-BER (Signal-to-Noise Ratio to Bit Error Rate) relationships. The simulation framework employs discrete event simulation techniques with protocol-specific state machines and collision detection algorithms. Through analysis of simulation results for each protocol, we can better understand and evaluate the performance characteristics of different protocols in wireless communication environments. The code implementation features modular design with separate functions for protocol behavior modeling, channel condition simulation, and performance metric calculation.
