title = "Space Diversity-Based Grant-Free Random Access for Critical and Non-Critical IoT Services",
abstract = "In this paper, we study the coexistence of critical and non-critical Internet of Things (IoT) services on a grant-free channel consisting of radio access and backhaul segments. On the radio access segment, IoT devices send packets to access points (APs) over an erasure collision channel using the slotted ALOHA protocol. Then, the APs forward correctly received messages to a base station (BS) over a shared wireless backhaul segment, modeled as an erasure collision channel. The APs hence play the role of uncoordinated relays that provide space diversity and may reduce performance losses caused by collisions. Both non-orthogonal and inter-service orthogonal resource sharing are considered and compared. Throughput and reliability metrics are analyzed, and numerical results are provided to assess the performance trade-offs between critical and non-critical IoT services.",
