On improving the performance of MI-MAC over next generation wireless cellular networksOn improving the performance of MI-MAC over next generation wireless cellular networks Πλήρης Δημοσίευση σε Συνέδριο Conference Full Paper 2015-11-102007enIn recent work [1], we have introduced MI-MAC (Multimedia Integration Multiple Access Control Protocol), which was shown to achieve superior performance in comparison to other protocols of the literature when integrating various types of multimedia traffic. In this paper we enhance the scheduling scheme of MI-MAC by adding three important parameters into its study, namely handoff traffic, per user varying channel conditions in the uplink and downlink channels and video sources' contention for channel resources, in order to evaluate the protocol under a significantly more realistic wireless cellular network scenario.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/40-40third International Conference on Wireless and Mobile Communications Koutsakis Polychronis Κουτσακης Πολυχρονης Paterakis Michalis Πατερακης Μιχαλης Drivas,T 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
