Abstract: Multiple-access schemes are introduced and analyzed for the integration of voice and data traffic in packet radio networks using code-division multiple-access (CDMA). The multiple-access capability of the CDMA channel is used to accommodate several voice calls simultaneously, while the data users follow the ALOHA protocol with retransmission control and contend for the remaining (if any) multiple-access capability of that channel. The retransmission probabilities of the backlogged data users are
