Trade-off Between Energy and Delay in Wireless Packetized Systems

In packetized wireless systems, coding allows correct reception of multiple packetscolliding at a receiver. Thus data may not need to incur delays such as those dueto backo schemes in traditional ALOHA systems. However, there is a trade-obetween delay and energy consumption. Recent work in this area has consideredthe case where multiple users are aware of the states of other users" queues. Weconsider a time-slotted multiple user system with random packet arrivals.
