Stable Transmission Capacity in Poisson Wireless Networks With Delay Guarantees

In this paper, a new measure of outage-constrained network area spectral efficiency, coined as stable transmission capacity, is introduced, which is achievable under finite delay and queue-length stability. Specifically, this framework extends the transmission capacity formulation to scenarios with packet retransmissions and transmitters' queues with independent packet arrivals. This approach is applied to single-hop wireless networks with nodes being spatially distributed as Poisson point process, slotted ALOHA medium access protocol, packet arrivals following a geometrical distribution, and bounded number of retransmissions.
