The multi‐slot reservation‐based hybrid medium access control (MAC) protocol with collision prevention is analysed under a high‐density deployment scenario. Extensive simulations are conducted to validate the accuracy of the proposed model (i.e. within 4% maximum relative error), which plays a theoretical guiding role in the MAC layer design and optimisation of a heterogeneous network system.
