Performance of CDMA slotted ALOHA multiple access with multiuser detection

Packetized random access based on code division multiple access (CDMA) is considered. Our primary aim is to assess the impact of (uncoded) multi-user (MU) detectors on the performance of CDMA with slotted ALOHA. The impact of respective multiple packet reception capability for the matched filter and MMSE detector on delay/throughput improvements (vis-a-vis narrowband slotted ALOHA that are collision limited) is investigated.
