Abstract

This paper describes a reservation-based movable boundary protocol for integrating voice and data on R-net^1. The protocol performance with packetized voice/data mixed traffic is investigated through simulation and approximate analytical modelling. The generation of voice packets within a call is simulated as Interrupted Poisson process with 'on' and 'off' states corresponding to talk and silent durations, respectively. The voice packets of fixed length are generated only during the on (talk) state, and both talk and silent periods are geometrically distributed. Simulation results are presented in terms of packet loss probability for voice packets, and the average delay for data packets at different integrated traffic loads. The paper demonstrates that the proposed protocol is quite suitable for packetized voice and data transmission.
