The analytical results of the random access model are validated against a discrete-event simulation which is run for large number of slots.

Optimum error correcting codes that give the best performances in terms of the throughput and the delay are determined. The perfonnance of random access CDMA systems applied to radio channels, as in packet radio networks, is then studied, and the effect of multipath fading on the perfonnance is evaluated. Finally, the perfonnance of DS-CDMA with different user classes (non-identical users case) is investigated. An extended equilibrium point analysis (EEPA) method has been used to solve the Markovian model in this situation.
