Abstract

In this paper, we analyze the effect of duplexing schemes on the throughput and the average packet dropping probability of a new multichannel wireless access protocol which allows for non-collision packet reservation multiple access with multiple channel (NC-PRMA/MC). N C equal-capacity, orthogonal, traffic channels are shared by M mobile users on the uplink. Transmission attempts on the uplink are made by using time-frequency signaling in every frame, which enables transmission attempts of mobile users to be conveyed to the base station without collisions. Two kinds of duplexing schemes, frequency division duplexing and shared time division duplexing, are considered in the performance analysis. Using a discrete-time Markov chain analysis, we derive the analytic expressions for the average per channel throughput and the average packet dropping probability. Computer simulation results verify the analysis. Analytical evaluation and computer simulation show that NC-PRMA/MC with shared time division duplexing improves the channel capacity, which approaches the theoretical upper bound.
