| Abstract: | This article presents a survey on medium access control protocols for multimedia traffic in wireless networks. A basic overview of MAC protocol concepts is presented, and a framework is developed on which to base qualitative comparisons. The MAC protocols covered include third-generation TDMA and CDMA schemes intended for use in a single-hop wireless system. The operation of each protocol is explained, and its advantages and disadvantages ore presented. Finally, a qualitative comparative outline of the discussed protocols is provided, based on multimedia traffic requirements |
