Performance Study of an Adaptive Reservation Multiple Access Technique for Data Transmissions

The performance of a differential PCM type adaptive reservation multiaccess technique is studied in this correspondence. The frame structure of the time-axis remains identical to that in [1]. However, channel reservation is handled differently. Analyses, both transient and steady-state, have been successfully completed. Results obtained include average frame length, queue length, average delay, etc. The validity of analysis is also verified by computer simulations. Through examples we witness that this new protocol generally has better performance than [1].
