Abstract :
An analysis method for evaluating the performance of a class of RRA (reservation random access) protocols is developed. The method is based on a Markovian model whose stationary solution is obtained via an iterative computational procedure based on matrix decomposition techniques. Subject to a maximum delay constraint, the steady state probability of voice packet dropping is evaluated for three RRA protocol examples and comparisons are made with the performance of an ideal hypothetical multiplexer. Suggestions for the design of integrated voice/data RRA protocols are made. The transient performance of RRA protocols is evaluated
