Despite the long history of research on slotted ALOHA, the exact analysis of the average delay is still in question as the performance of each node is coupled with the activity of other nodes. In this paper, we consider a network comprised of two half-duplex transmitter nodes with asynchronous arrival traffic that follow the slotted ALOHA protocol. We propose a new queueing theoretic model based on the state-dependent queues to analyze the network. In addition, we derive the exact values of delay and stability region for each node. The numerical results demonstrate the accuracy of our proposed model.
