Packet reservation multiple access protocol for digital cellular mobile communications: A performance study

Abstract

Digital ceIlular mobile radio communications techniques is an area of wide public acceptance. This paper looks onto the performance of packet reservation multiple access (PRMA) protocol for the transmission of digital speech packets from mobile speech sources. Packets from active speech sources contend for access to a channel time slot. Computer simulationswere done to study the performance of the protocol and to determine the capacity of channels having different bandwidth and frame size.
