Abstract :
Third generation cellular systems will have to accommodate a variety of different services and very high traffic volumes. Hence, flexible and efficient multiple access protocols are sought. We analyse the performance of the packet reservation multiple access (PRMA) protocol, in the case of mixed voice and data traffic. In particular we consider the impact on the performance of voice traffic of the added data traffic, in a variety of different configurations. The aim is to understand the effect of the various parameters, that is the delay, dropping probability, and burstiness, on the overall performance. Finally, the effect of a data traffic shaping is taken into account in order to achieve better system performance
