Abstract :
Personal communication network (PCN) technology has become the most important topic in next-generation telecommunication systems. This technology is going to deliver a set of communication services to a hand-held unit at any location. In order to support all these services, asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) technology has been proposed as the choice for mixed data, voice and video communications over a single network. It has been recognised that multimedia wireless networks have become a natural way of providing wireless extensions for future broadband networks. These networks, based on an ATM transport architecture, are designed to support a mix of broadband ISDN services including constant bit-rate (CBR), variable bit-rate (VBR) and packet data. MDR-TDMA is one of the proposed protocols for the medium access control (MAC) sublayer of such a network. We analyze the performance of this protocol for a multimedia scenario. Simulation results of quality-of-service (QoS) and other parameters are presented for this system
