Abstract: Spatial regulation suffices to guarantee reliable, low-latency communication using variable-length stop-feedback (VLSF) codes over multiple access channels. The delay performance of VLSF codes under successive interference cancellation is characterized for transmitters within a coverage region. For deployments modeled by hardcore point processes, the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) admits a positive lower bound for all transmitters within the coverage region. Under a predefined total error probability constraint, these transmitters are decodable within an upper-bounded delay. For each transmitter, the decoding delay is well approximated by an inverse Gaussian distribution parameterized by the codebook size, target error probability, and the SINR lower bound. Numerical results confirm that hardcore regulation provides uniform performance guarantees across links.
