Abstract :
A medium access control (MAC) protocol for wireless multimedia communications is presented and investigated. We explore, via an extensive simulation study, the performance of the protocol when integrating voice, H.263 variable bit rate (VBR) video and bursty e-mail data packet traffic over a wireless picocellular system of high capacity. Our scheme achieves high aggregate channel throughput in all examined cases of traffic loads, while satisfying the quality of service (QoS) requirements of each traffic type.
