Throughput Analysis of Fading Sensor Networks with Regular and Random Topologies

<p/> <p>We present closed-form expressions of the average link throughput for sensor networks with a slotted ALOHA MAC protocol in Rayleigh fading channels. We compare networks with three regular topologies in terms of throughput, transmit efficiency, and transport capacity. In particula...
