Abstract :
Advanced time division multiple access (ATDMA) protocol is a new generation protocol which supports both circuit switched and packet switched transmission modes. In this paper the performance of the ATDMA protocol in a microcell environment is presented. The performance of the protocol was evaluated using a proposed block reservation scheme for an integrated voice and data traffic. The effect of block reservation scheme and capture effect on the protocol performance is investigated using a discrete event simulation model
