Abstract
Personal Communication Networks (PCNs) have become an important filed of activity and they are expected to play a fundamental role in next-generation telecommunication systems. In particular, the emerging personal communication services, such as portable computing, paging, personal e-mail, etc. have led to the need of an efficient integration of voice and data traffic in a same PCN by means of a suitable multiple-access scheme. This paper considers stability and optimization issues for the Packet Reservation Multiple Access (PRMA) protocol used for integrating voice and burst data traffic in a PCN. An important result here devised is that the optimized PRMA protocol permits to be achieved good performance even under heavy traffic load conditions.
