An intelligent medium access control (MAC) protocol based on fuzzy logic control (FLC) is proposed and compared with a general packet radio system in UMTS (GPRS/UMTS), priority scheme and the movable boundary wireless integrated multiple access in UMTS (MBWIMA/UMTS) protocols. The integrated video/voice/data services of UMTS in UTRA TDD mode have different transmission properties. By fuzzy logic control, the resources of the wireless communication can be intelligent assigned for different types of mediums. The voice-video dropping probability and data packet delay are input to FLC to optimally select the maximum number of voice/video slots. Voice activity detector (VAD) and multiple access interference in single cell are also considered in the simulations.
The intelligent medium access control (MAC) protocol based on cascade fuzzy logic control (CFLC) using the first-duplicated space division multiple access (SDMA) scheduling for UTRA TDD mode is presented in this paper. Voice, data and video are integrated for transmission using CFLC-based movable boundary wireless multiple access in the UMTS (MBWIMA/UMTS) protocol. The CFLC-based MBWIMA/UMTS protocol performance with data rate control is optimized using the CFLC to generate the proper maximum number of voice/video slots and a suitable data rate. The first-duplicated SDMA scheduling, which provides the SDMA scheduling management, can increase the wireless mobile system capacity and reduce the voice-video dropping probability. The simulation results demonstrate that the CFLC-based MBWIMA/UMTS protocol using the first-duplicated SDMA scheduling can greatly improve both the voice-video dropping probability and data packet delay, compared with the MBWIMA/UMTS and GPRS/UMTS protocols using the first-duplicated SDMA scheduling at the expense of a small decrease in data packet throughput.
