Abstract :
This paper presents a broadband multiple access protocol for wireless multimedia personal communications systems. The proposed protocol supports a wide range of user services by efficiently accommodating various traffic streams with different quality of service requirements. We describe the protocol in detail and evaluate its performance, using simple analytical models and extensive discrete event simulation, with respect to various quality of service parameters. It was shown that our wireless access protocol can be a good candidate for future generation broadband wireless communications systems
