Abstract A novel medium access control algorithm is proposed in this paper. With the information of node’s Multi-Packet Reception (MPR) ability and the seeds used for producing the scheduling list, the optimal probability to access channel is determined, and the MPR ability is efficiently exploited thereby so as to improve the throughput performance of the networks. Finally, the paper tests the performance of the algorithm with an analytic model, and compares the results with the clustered protocol.
