Voice and data integration over PRMA using window algorithms

We propose a new packet reservation multiple access (PRMA) scheme for the joint transmission of voice and data traffic over a wireless medium. The collision resolution protocol within the system is based on a modification of the two-cell window random access algorithm, which has superior properties compared to the conventional slotted Aloha. The proposed algorithm, which we call packet reservation window multiple access (PRWMA), works in distinct modes for voice and data, and the user performs slightly different operations depending on the information type
