Abstract
The authors examine the implications of physical layer overhead on the design of multiaccess protocols under a demand-assignment framework, comparing full-slot contention with mini-slot contention. Even if the physical layer overhead is substantial relative to the packet size, we show that after ‘paying the price’ of transmitting the physical layer overhead it is still better, from a delay-throughput perspective, to only transmit a short request rather than a full packet during a contention period.
