Summary: 
In this paper, we evaluate the throughput performance of CDMA Slotted ALOHA systems. To improve the throughput performance, we employ the Quasi-synchronous sequences and the Modified Channel Load Sensing Protocol as an access control procedure. As a result, we found a good throughput by the QS-sequences. By employing MCLSP, we can keep the maximum throughput even in high offered load and in the presence of a long access timing delay, which is one of the issue in satellite packet communication systems.
