Abstract

Indexed Resource Auction Multiple Access (I-RAMA), a new medium access protocol for wireless cellular networks based on Resource Auction Multiple Access (RAMA) is presented. I-RAMA relies in variable length resource auctions, whose length depends on the time it takes the Base Station to uniquely identify the Mobile Station. This identification is done by using dynamic Base Station information about the users present in the cell at any moment. I-RAMA effectively reduces the amount of time spent in the resource auctions without introducing contention or excessive complexity at the Base Station. The effects of introducing data users in the system are investigated using a simulation, and it is shown that I-RAMA guarantees Quality of Service for isochronous users while maintaining a bounded delay for data users at much higher loads than RAMA.
