## WHAT IS IT?

This model demonstrates the decision making capabilities of the central authority (in this case, the base station). The base station assigns the nodes with slots to transmit data packets based on the priority being assigned. The priority is assigned on the basis of type of data the nodes wants to transmit.

## HOW IT WORKS

(Real-time voice, video and store-and-forward type of communication is considered in this model where real-time voice is assigned the highest priority and is allowed to make transmission first and the remaining nodes would wait untill the voice communication is completed. The number of channels available is one less than the number of nodes for each priority. The data rates for three of these communication types are also assigned on the fly according to the type of data, nodes want to send. )
