What is the maximum throughput (channel efficiency) of slotted ALOHA?

  1. About 18.4%
  2. About 36.8%
  3. About 50%
  4. 100%
Answer and explanation

Answer: B. About 36.8%

Explanation: Slotted ALOHA's throughput S = G × e^(-G) peaks at G = 1, giving 1/e ≈ 0.368. Pure ALOHA peaks at 1/(2e) ≈ 18.4%.
