On the integration of MPEG-4 video streams with voice and e-mail data packet traffic over wireless picocellular networks
Polychronis Koutsakis, Spyros Psychis, Michael Paterakis · 2002
A new medium access control (MAC) protocol for mobile wireless communications is presented and investigated. We explore, via an extensive simulation study, the performance of the protocol when integrating voice, MPEG-4 video and e-mail data packet traffic over a wireless channel of high capacity. Our scheme achieves high aggregate channel throughput in all cases of traffic load, while preserving the quality of service (QoS) requirements of each traffic type.
