| Abstract: | The purpose of this paper is to study the performance of integrating voice and data services over PACS systems in a multicarrier environment. Several time‐slot allocation schemes are proposed. With continuous‐time Markov model, the performance can be evaluated. The results show that while using one system broadcast channel (SBC), the blocking rate of circuit mode services and system throughput are improved, at the sacrifice of increasing the blocking probability of packet mode services.
