Abstract

The performance of the dynamic packet reservation multiple access (DPRMA) protocol over a Gilbert-Elliott (1960, 1963) fading channel is investigated in this work. The DPRMA protocol is designed for use in a wireless ATM system. A primary feature of DPRMA is the intelligent allocation of resources based on the requests submitted by each active mobile and on the quality of service (QoS) requirements of each type of user. The ability of a mobile to dynamically change its bandwidth reservation request is another feature of the system. The system investigated in this work contains voice, video conferencing, and data traffic. We demonstrate that DPRMA performs well in a harsh wireless environment
