“…In the basic and most common TDMA scheme every user has exactly one slot assigned in every frame in which a single packet can be transmitted, result- ing in a system that operates in a round robin mode. Queueing models of this scheme with various variations have been introduced and analyzed in numerous papers [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. The basic scheme operates reasonably well if the set of users is relatively homogeneous with respect to the traffic they generate.…”

In the classical TDMA, which has been the subject of extensive research in the past, a single slot is allocated to each and every user within every frame. In many situations this leads to an inefficient utilization of the channel calling for a nonhomogeneous allocation of slots. This paper focuses on a generalized TDMA scheme in which users are allocated more than a single slot per frame, not necessarily contiguous. We derive the delay distribution and buffer occupancy for such a scheme as well as the expected values of these quantities.
