Abstract

Slot allocation for voice and data in an integrated TDMA mobile radio system is investigated. In the proposed system, voice traffic is circuit-switched and data traffic is packet-switched using slotted ALOHA for channel access; the data traffic model is practically assumed to have a finite number of users with finite buffer capacity. The authors apply an equilibrium point analysis (EPA) technique to analyze the data performance and present a heuristic performance criterion to obtain an optimal slot allocation for voice and data in the integrated TDMA mobile radio system
