Medium access control and traffic policing for multimedia integrated access in high capacity wireless channels

Abstract

In this work, we consider the design and performance evaluation of multiple access schemes that multiplex voice traffic at the talkspurt level to efficiently integrate voice, video and data traffic in third generation picocellular wireless networks. We also develop Call Admission Control and Traffic Policing Algorithms for transmitting multiple-layered videoconference movies over a wireless channel of high capacity. The design goals include maximizing the system capacity and satisfying quality of service requirements such as voice packet dropping probability, video packet dropping probability and voice, video and data packet access delays. These goals are complicated by the limited radio channel bandwidth and by the contradictory nature of voice, video and data traffic.
