Abstract
The paper reports on initial investigations in RACE project 2084, ATDMA, into the mapping of reservation access mechanisms onto an adaptive TDMA structure. This work is a natural extension of studies in RACE 1043, on packet access mechanisms, and considers the influence of some practical constraints on system performance. The paper presents realistic burst and frame structures for reservation mode access and gives some capacity estimates for macrocells in which reservation mode access is employed. The results are derived from a medium access control simulation module which is being designed as part of a simulated testbed for the ATDMA project
