Random Interleaving Multiplexing Based IRSA Random Access System for Satellite-Enabled Internet-of-Things

A random access framework based on random interleaving multiplexing (RIM) is proposed to further improve throughput for internet of things in satellite networks, which resort to the state-of-art physical layer techniques that can resolve multiple packet collisions issue. The interleavers are randomly selected by active devices from a set of available interleavers, which are used to differentiate signals of different devices sharing a subframe that consists of multiple time slots. The message passing detector (MPD) is utilized to decode collided packets. By means of transmission diversity and interference cancellation, the proposed scheme can be linked with the irregular repetition slotted ALOHA (IRSA), the RIM-IRSA protocol is proposed. The analysis of packet loss ratio (PLR) of the RIM-IRSA is given by using the density evolution method, and the optimal degree distributions are given. Simulation results show that the RIM-IRSA outperforms traditional IRSA protocol
