Abstract
Following an introduction and brief overview of media access control protocols, this paper presents a review of the current literature on MAC protocols and bandwidth allocation strategies for high speed wireless systems. The four protocols reviewed in this paper range from simple Aloha-type algorithms to relatively complex polling schemes. An attempt is also made to compare the protocols based on their technical merits
