title = "Iterative contending-user estimation method for OFDMA wireless networks with bursty arrivals",
abstract = "Random access channels (RACHs) in cellular networks are normally designed for Poisson-distributed arrivals with a constant rate. Unexpected bursty arrivals may result in severely collisions in RACHs and thus, degrade users' service qualities. This paper presents an analytical model to investigate the transient behavior of the RACHs with bursty arrivals generated in a specific time interval in OFDMA wireless networks. The proposed model considers the effect of new arrivals and the real-world implementation constraints of the OFDMA random access procedure such as periodic access characteristic, uniform random backoff policy, and power-ramping effect. The average number of contending and success mobile stations (MSs) in each random-access slot are then derived using the proposed model. The accuracy of the proposed model was verified through computer simulations and the results show the accuracy of the analysis.",
