A multiple access network with a large number of stations can be analyzed using the Poisson distribution. When there is a limited number of stations in a network, we need to use another approach for this analysis. In a network with N stations, we assume that each station has a frame to send during the frame transmission time () with probability p. In such a network, a station is successful in sending its frame if the station has a frame to send during the vulnerable time and no other station has a frame to send during this period of time.
The probability that a station in a pure Aloha network can successfully send a frame during the vulnerable time.
A. B. C. D.
