Abstract

In this paper we design and study the performance of a Multiple Access Control (MAC) scheme for the multiplexing and the integrated delivery of voice, video and bursty data traffic over a high-speed wireless TDMA channel. We compare our results with a previously proposed efficient MAC protocol and we show that, regardless of the much more severe (and realistic) channel conditions examined in our work, our scheme clearly outperforms the previously proposed protocol in terms of channel throughput and voice capacity, due to the use of two novel ideas.
