Pure <strong>ALOHA</strong> (3)<br />

�� Whenever two frames try to occupy the channel at the<br />

same time, there will be a collision and both will be<br />

garbled. Both will have to be retransmitted later.<br />

�� The checksum cannot (and should not) distinguish<br />

between a total loss and a near miss. miss<br />

�� The maximum throughput occurs at G (load-attempts<br />

(load attempts<br />

per packet time) = 0.5, with S (the throughput) =<br />

1/2e, which is about 0.184. In other words, the best<br />

we can hope for is a channel utilization of 18 percent.<br />

This result is not very encouraging<br />
