When using PIMA, the BS can acquire partial information on the instantaneous traffic conditions and, using compute-over-the-air techniques, estimate the number of devices with packets waiting for transmission in their queue.

Time is divided into frames, each split into slots and each MTD randomly selects one slot for (re)transmission, with probability density functions (PDFs) specific of both the MTD and the number of the current retransmission.

We consider a wireless communication system, where a transmitting source is assisted by both a reconfigurable intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) and a decode-and-forward half-duplex relay (hybrid IRS-relay scheme) to communicate with a destination receiver.
