Description

Reservation media access control (MAC) protocols for integrated voice and data wireless LANs are studied. Simulation is used to compare the performance of two reservation protocols: ALOHA-reservation and packet reservation multiple access (PRMA). Emphasis is placed on the maximum number of terminals that the system can support within given values of the voice packet dropping probability and average data delay. Results show that the difference in the maximum number between the two protocols is small. It is seen that if data messages are long and if the number of terminals is not so large, the average data delay of ALOHA-reservation is smaller than that of PRMA. >
