A new technique for satellite broadcast channel communication

F.Borgonovo and L.Fratta

The authors propose an hybrid aloha/reservation protocol. It behaves as aloha until a collision occurs. Then switches to reservation.

I am specially interested in this sentence:
Moreover we can say that the S-ALOHA technique is very suitable for low traffic, single-packet, condiditions even if a control scheme has to be used to guarantee the system stability.

and cites this paper:
Lam, S. and Kleinrock, L. "Packet Switching in a Multiaccess Broadcast Channel: Dynamic Control Procedures"
