Abstract
The design of hybrid transmission algorithms for the multiplexing of voice and data over a common digital channel is of interest to various communication networks, including cellular radio and high-speed topologies. In environments where the characteristics of the voice and data traffics may vary dynamically, the issue is the deployment of hybrid multiplexing algorithms (HMAs) which satisfy the constraints imposed by the voice traffic, while they simultaneously attain high channel utilization and induce low implementation overhead. In this paper, we propose, evaluate, and compare two HMAs: a semidynamic and a dynamic. The former induces lower implementation overhead than the latter, but it is applicable only to environments where the rate of the voice traffic may vary relatively slowly and its statistics are parametrically known. The semidynamic HMA induces frame structures, where the capacity allocation per frame, for the voice versus data traffic, is dictated by a superimposed traffic monitoring algorithm. The dynamic HMA, on the other hand, assigns each channel slot to voice versus data packets dynamically; it requires no statistical knowledge about the voice traffic, at the expense of significantly increased implementation overhead.
