ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns SEAMA, a source encoding assisted multiple access (MAC) protocol, for integrating voice and data traffic in a wireless network. SEAMA exploits the time variations of the speech coding rate, through statistical multiplexing, to efficiently use the available bandwidth and to increase the link utilization.
