AN ACCESS PROTOCOL FOR SPEECH DATA/VIDEO INTEGRATION IN TDMA-BASED ADVANCED MOBILE SYSTEMS/

One key requirement in the radio access design of advanced, third-gene ration mobile systems is the. ability to accommodate a variety of serv ice types via flexible and efficient multiple-access protocols. This p aper introduces a multiple-access protocol, SIR++ (service integration for radio access), which has the potential for meeting the service re quirements of speech, video, and bursty data traffic in an efficient w ay, SIR++ is evolved from and generalizes a former protocol, SIR, whic h only considered the requirements of speech and data, The paper also evaluates the buffer occupancy distribution associated with an (H.253) video connection by solving a worst case model of the system.
