Abstract

In this paper, we propose a wireless MAC protocol named APRMA, which is capable of supporting the ABR type data service and Maximizing channel utilization. Data terminals with random data packets are not provided slot reservation with PRMA protocol. That is, slot reservation is applicable to the time constraint voice packet exclusively. But the reservation scheme have to be performed for loss sensitive data packet, and contended their quality of service, Therefore, in wireless MAC, reservation technique has to be used for both voice and data services. So the terminal which wants to request for ABR type service, is allocated a minimum bandwidth from system for the first time, If the system have some extra available bandwidth, ABR terminals would acquire additional bandwidth slot by slot, As a result, APRMA protocol can support the data service with loss sensitivity and maintain their channel utilization high.
