Abstract
The authors introduce a class of protocols for integrated voice/data radio networks called the voice/data interleaved-frame fixed-length (VD-IFFL) protocols. The IFFL protocols, which are similar to the interleaved-frame flush-out (IFFO) protocols (a class of schemes developed for data-only applications), except that they have a fixed frame length, a desirable feature in voice communication, are discussed. The VD-IFFL protocols use a movable-boundary mechanism to share the channel between voice and data traffic. Voice traffic is handled on a reservation basis, while data traffic is handled using a hybrid IFFL scheme that combines reservation and contention. These protocols are characterized by infinite Markov chains, whose transition probabilities have been evaluated exactly.Keywords
