Throughput analysis of smart objects with delay constraints

In this paper, we analyze a shared access network with one primary device and randomly distributed smart objects with secondary priority. Assuming random traffic at the primary device and saturated queues at the smart objects with secondary priority, an access protocol is employed to adjust the random access probabilities of the smart objects depending on the congestion level of the primary. We characterize the maximum throughput of the secondary network with respect to delay constraints on the primary. Our results highlight the impact of system design parameters on the delay and throughput behavior of the shared access network with massive number of connected objects.
