Abstract
Unlike analogue voice signal-oriented and narrowband-based conventional tactical systems, the future tactical networks will deal with packet-based voice traffic over a wide channel bandwidth. In this paper, a method is proposed to improve the performance of voice packet transmission for MIL-STD-188-220 military standard-based wideband communication systems. By utilizing Bump-Slots for voice packet transmissions, significant improvements are achieved. This is confirmed by extensive simulations.
