Abstract

This paper proposes a multimedia MAC protocol to be used at the top of the new generation W-CDMA air interfaces. The protocol is highly interrelated with the power control functionality in order to extract the maximum capacity and flexibility out of the CDMA scheme. Moreover the protocol includes a complete set of QoS mechanisms to ensure the correct and fair coexistence of very different traffic types
