Restricted data traffic access in dynamic packet reservation voice-data integration for high capacity wireless TDMA channels

A medium access control (MAC) protocol for integrating voice and email data packet traffic in a high capacity wireless channel, while at the same time ensuring the absolute priority of voice, is presented and investigated. With the use of an idea recently introduced in the literature, the results of our formerly published work are significantly improved. We evaluate, via simulations and comparisons with other protocols in the recent literature, the performance of the protocol and we focus on the impact of different types and loads of data traffic on the system performance.
