Abstract

Simulation work is reported indicating that packet reservation multiple access (PRMA) allows a variety of information sources to share the same wireless access channel. Some of the sources, such as speech terminals, are classified as periodic and others, such as signaling, are classified as random. Packets from all sources contend for access to channel time slots. When a periodic information terminal succeeds in gaining access, it reserves subsequent time slots for uncontested transmission. Both computer simulations and a listening test reveal that PRMA achieves a promising combination of voice quality and bandwidth efficiency
