A novel multiple access scheme for third generation mobile/personal communication system

The importance of the data services for radio communication is growing. The paper proposes a novel accessing scheme which can efficiently support mixed (voice+data) service requirements on the future systems. For this work some comprehensive computer models were developed. Through these models, the proposed scheme was proved to operate efficiently in mixed traffic environments. Further improvements were achieved by utilizing the pauses/listening periods in speech for transmitting delay-insensitive data messages. A description is included of the algorithm, and the results of the simulations are presented.<
