Stability evaluation and design of the PRMA joint voice data system

Packet reservation multiple access (PRMA) provides spatially dispersed voice and data terminals wireless access to a base station over a common short-range radio channel. The author presents an equilibrium point analysis of the joint voice data system. The analysis leads to two coupled nonlinear equations. By a judicious change of variables, the author calculates the equilibrium of the joint system by finding the roots of a univariate equation....
