Summary: 
In this paper, a slot-averaged SIR model is derived to analyze the performances of 1/N-slotted DS-CDMA packet radio networks. DS-CDMA packet radio networks can be analyzed with channel threshold model, but it is not appropriate for a 1/N-slotted access scheme since the interference level varies slot by slot during a packet transmission time. A packet in a DS-CDMA system will be channel-encoded and interleaved so that an excessive interference of some slots does not result in a corruption of a packet directly. In a 1/N-slotted DS-CDMA packet system, interleaving and channel coding can cope with the excessive interference in some slots. Proposed slot-averaged SIR model reflects this effect and is simple enough to be used in the performance analyses of various packet access control schemes. This paper verifies the slot-averaged SIR model and evaluates the throughputs of 1/N-slotted access schemes using it. This paper also compares the results with those of the conventional channel threshold model. Packet access schemes such as slotted ALOHA, slotted CLSP and slotted CLSP/CC are analyzed. The results show that many different aspects from the results of the previous works can be evaluated and this work will offer more accurate view on the behavior of 1/N-slotted DS-CDMA packet radio networks.
