An efficient slot allocation algorithm to accommodate multimedia traffic in CDMA/TDD-based wireless communications systems

摘要

We propose two time slot allocation algorithms for code division multiple access with time division duplex (CDMA/TDD) systems to efficiently accommodate multimedia traffic. Assuming a practical multiple cell environment and a multimedia service model which consists of several kinds of circuit-switched and packet-switched services with different qualities of service (QoS), we evaluate the average delay of the CDMA/TDD system with the proposed algorithms, and compare the performance with that of CDMA with frequency division duplex (CDMA/FDD) and time division multiple access with TDD (TDMA/TDD) systems. Our computer simulation results show that the CDMA/TDD system with one of the proposed algorithms, which can effectively avoid interference among users with different QoS, can improve the average delay performance as compared with the other systems.
