Adaptive (T/sub 1/, T/sub 2/)-multiplexing transmission schemes for voice/data integrated networks

Integrated multiplexing schemes are needed to optimize the use of transmission bandwidth in integrated networks. In this paper, we introduce the idea of a dynamically controlled (T/sub 1/, T/sub 2/) multiplexing scheme. The advantages of this transmission policy is that it allocates the transmission capacity of the channel to two traffic types according to the instantaneous needs. We consider only two types of traffic, voice band traffic and digital data. The channel access times for voice and data are T/sub 1/ and T/sub 2/, respectively. In this paper, we present some preliminary results of our proposed scheme. In our simulations, we observe that a reduction in blocking probability of 15% or more is possible.
