Abstract

Two hybrid (reservation/random) medium access control protocols, which are based on code division multiple access are analyzed in the presence of multimedia traffic. The protocols contain a multi-priority mechanism. The priority mechanism is implemented and controlled explicitly by the user, with minimal involvement from the network. The performance analysis makes use of realistic traffic models
