Bandwidth reservation multiple access protocol (BRMA) resolves access contentions for mobile users in wireless local networks. Bandwidth is assigned to each user dynamically at frame level. In each frame, request channels are deterministically assigned to each user and are therefore contention-free. Data channels are assigned dynamically by base station and are therefore collisionfree. In this paper, BRMA is studied for multimedia traffic through simulations. Traffic patterns of different

... such as voice, data, real time high activity video (MPEG movie Star Wars) are used to study the protocol performance. With a proper admission control and with proper design of protocol parameters (service ratio, frame length, etc), traffic with different quality of service (QoS) requirements can be supported.
