Description
Summary:This paper presents a new dynamically adaptable medium access method that can be applied to home networks in order to create a distributed environment for multimedia and data processing services. The method uses mechanism that detects silent periods in voice transmissions and dynamically allocates the available bandwidth between isochronous and asynchronous traffic.
