sports surfing and bodyboardingWhat is maximum throughput for slotted Aloha?
Accordingly, how throughput is improved in slotted Aloha?
The maximum throughput of Slotted ALOHA is 1 / 0.368 e = , which occurs at 1 G = ; this is doubled of that of Pure ALOHA. As we can see, the efficiency of Pure ALOHA can be improved by the introduced time slot structure. However, time synchronization is required to align stations to the slot structure.
Similarly, you may ask, why is the throughput of slotted Aloha better than that of the pure Aloha?
The Slotted ALOHA is somewhat better than the Pure ALOHA. As the probability of collision is less in Slotted ALOHA as compared to Pure ALOHA because the station waits for the next time slot to begin which let the frame in a previous time slot to pass and avoids the collision between the frames.
The main difference between Pure ALOHA and Slotted ALOHA is that the time in Pure Aloha is continuous whereas, the time in Slotted ALOHA is discrete.
