Abstract

With multimedia (voice, video and data) services required irrespective of time, location and situation, airports are considered to be a major application area which require extremely advanced adaptive computing and communication systems. However, providing users with mobile, secure and reliable communication is extremely challenging due to the dynamic nature of the environment and travellers' own behaviour. The aim of The INtelligent Airport (TINA) project is to develop a new seamless wireless/wired infrastructure able to provide ubiquitous connectivity to users in this environment. In this paper, we model the teletraffic based on passenger flow and the number of users and their applications in each cell while considering both spatial and temporal traffic variations. Having base stations responsible for the access of the channel, we evaluate the performance of our airport model by using our proposed modified packet reservation multiple access (M-PRMA) protocol [1].
