## Abstract

In this paper, we propose a compressive random access (CRA) scheme using multiple resource blocks (RBs) to support massive connections for machine type communications (MTC). The proposed CRA scheme is scalable. As a result, if the number of devices increases, more RBs can be added to support them. Thanks to multiple RBs, we can employ fast retrial between RBs for re-transmissions of collided packets, which can result in short access delay. For stable CRA with fast retrial, we derive conditions (with a rate control scheme), and analyze the steady state performance to find the throughput and delay. Through analysis and simulation results, we can see that the proposed scheme can perform better than conventional multichannel ALOHA and enjoy a trade-off between the performance and complexity in terms of the number of RBs.
