Protocol enhancements in wireless multimedia and multiple-access networks

Abshact — The Performance of Wireless mdt“media Networks depends on having a rbust error control scheme and eficient/refiable network transport. This paper presents a new analytic framework for determining g the performance of asynchronous spread spectrum mtitipleaccess networks that uses a hybrid ARQ protocol. The enhanced protocol (de scribed in this paper) can be further used in this mdtiple access network (-d other networks) to provide higher capacity for the network and less time for users to use the commtication M. The two techniques provide the capabilities of investigating different wir+ less mdti-media and mtitipleaccess networks with variety of retransmission protocob, prot~ COIenhancements, and channel conditions.
