On the efficiency of the MI-MAC protocol for multimedia traffic integrated access over wireless networksOn the efficiency of the MI-MAC protocol for multimedia traffic integrated access over wireless networks Πλήρης Δημοσίευση σε Συνέδριο Conference Full Paper 2015-11-092005enIn this work, we study the efficiency of a new reservation medium access control protocol for wireless communications, named Multimedia Integration Multiple Access Control (MI-MAC), by comparing it with another well-known protocol for multimedia integration over wireless networks (DPRMA). Our scheme, one of the first in the literature that considers the integration of streams from latest technology video encoders with other types of packet traffic over wireless networks, is shown to outperform DPRMA* (a very slightly modified version of DPRMA, used in order to be able to make comparisons between the two protocols) in terms of aggregate channel throughput and mean Web data transmission delays.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/1st IEEE/IFIP International Conference in Central Asia on Internet Koutsakis Polychronis Κουτσακης Πολυχρονης Papadakis, Hélène Paterakis, Michalis E Psychis ,S Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Communication systems, Wireless Wireless data communication systems Wireless information networks Wireless telecommunication systems wireless communication systems communication systems wireless wireless data communication systems wireless information networks wireless telecommunication systems
