Abstract :
We investigate the behavior of multiplexed traffic streams of different traffic classes in the radio environment, and study the effect of such behavior on the performance of the D-TDMA MAC protocol. Based on such traffic behavior, we investigate a traffic/network management set for improving the overall performance of the network
