Abstract :
The advantages of using adaptive bit rate voice coders to improve the performance of PRMA for digital cellular radio are considered. It is shown that such a technique forces a fairer distribution of packet loss between mobiles and is able to accommodate fluctuations in traffic levels within a cell.
