Abstract
The use of new multiple access schemes emerges as a necessity in order to efficiently cope with the massive connectivity, reliability and high throughput requirements of the next generation Internet of Things. In this letter, we study the performance of an uplink rate-splitting multiple access (RSMA) network with two sources, in terms of outage probability and throughput. Specifically, we derive closed-form expressions for the outage probability of the transmitted messages and then, we utilize them to derive the throughput of the sources in a random access network with a medium access control protocol based on slotted ALOHA and RSMA.
