Multiple-frequency slotted ALOHA in a shadowed and Rician faded radio environment

A multiple-frequency channel is proposed to enhance the capacity of slotted ALOHA radio networks. The throughput is derived considering each packet being frequency assigned randomly in an uncorrelated shadowing and fading channel. Poisson and binomial distributions are assumed for the packet arrival models for an infinite and a finite number of users, respectively.
