Dynamic slot allocation algorithm for VBR video sources in wireless ATM MAC protocol

摘要

A dynamic slots allocation algorithm is proposed for the MAC protocol in TDMA-based wireless ATM networks, and it takes the status of the output buffer of the VBR video source, the slots currently occupied by the VBR video source and the total slots allocation situation in the cell into consideration before the assignment of slots. The result of the simulation shows that by this algorithm the MAC protocol yields higher statistics duplex gain of the channel.
