Wireless ATM: air interface and network protocols of the mobile broadband system
Bernhard H. Walke, Dietmar Petras, D. Plassmann · IEEE Personal Communications · 1996
Wireless ATM systems for the connection of mobile multimedia terminals to the broadband ISDN for different applications are introduced, explained, and illustrated according to their specific quality-of-service requirements. The authors' approach to realizing an ATM multiplexer at the air interface is explained in detail, and new ideas on how to cope with the fact that an ATM transport network is not prepared to handle network-based handovers are presented. The article also describes some of the tools the authors have developed to study and analyze wireless ATM-related problems.
