Abstract

A synchronous cellular (ATM-based) packet code division multiple access (CDMA) protocol for the integrated wireless access network (IWAN) is investigated. A traffic equilibrium analysis for the reverse link is presented. Results are shown for a mixture of two traffic types: high-rate and low-rate. The throughput, delay, and expected queue length distribution for both traffic types are presented
