Abstract
As mobile terminals are powered by a finite battery source, energy con straints play a major role in the design of wireless communications sy stems. In this letter, based on a general analytical framework, we stu dy the energy efficiency of a class of multiple access schemes, using the average number of correctly transmitted packets for a given amount of allocated energy as an appropriate metric. We show that a good cho ice of the protocol rules can significantly improve the energy efficie ncy.
