On Throughput of Compressive Random Access for One Short Message Delivery in IoT (2002.02003v1)

Abstract: In this paper, we study compressive random access (CRA) with two stages for machine-type communication (MTC) in cellular Internet-of-Things (IoT). In particular, we consider the case that each user (IoT device or sensor) has only one short message (of the same length) when it is activated to send data in IoT applications. Two different CRA-based random access schemes are discussed (one is conventional and the other is new based on a simplified handshaking process). Based on the throughput analysis, we show that the CRA-based random access scheme with simplified handshaking process can outperform as its length of payload is adaptively decided depending on the number of active users. Simulation results confirm that the derived throughput expressions agree with them and can be used to design a random access system for MTC with each active device or sensor that has one short message.
