Group randomly addressed polling with reservation for wireless integrated service networks
Hsiu-Fen Chou, Cheng-Hua Lee, Kwang‐Cheng Chen · 2002
Group randomly addressed polling (GRAP) protocol has been demonstrated as an efficient and reliable multiple access protocol for wireless data networks. To serve time-bounded or integrated service traffic, a reservation technique is proposed in this paper to modify GRAP as reservation-group randomly addressed polling (R-GRAP) protocol. We first evaluate its performance for voice wireless networks to highlight the adequacy of adopting R-GRAP for future personal communications. Based on our evaluations to adopt R-GRAP to serve integrated voice and data traffic, we demonstrate the superiority of R-GRAP for wireless integrated service networks.
