Abstract

The intelligent medium access control (MAC) protocol based on cascade fuzzy logic control (CFLC) using the first-duplicated space division multiple access (SDMA) scheduling for UTRA TDD mode is presented in this paper. Voice, data and video are integrated for transmission using CFLC-based movable boundary wireless multiple access in the UMTS (MBWIMA/UMTS) protocol. The CFLC-based MBWIMA/UMTS protocol performance with data rate control is optimized using the CFLC to generate the proper maximum number of voice/video slots and a suitable data rate. The first-duplicated SDMA scheduling, which provides the SDMA scheduling management, can increase the wireless mobile system capacity and reduce the voice-video dropping probability. The simulation results demonstrate that the CFLC-based MBWIMA/UMTS protocol using the first-duplicated SDMA scheduling can greatly improve both the voice-video dropping probability and data packet delay, compared with the MBWIMA/UMTS and GPRS/UMTS protocols using the first-duplicated SDMA scheduling at the expense of a small decrease in data packet throughput.
