Distributed channel access on wireless ATM links
L. Dellaverson, W. Dellaverson · IEEE Communications Magazine · 1997
The availability of a large amount of unlicensed spectrum, an approach to dealing with performance issues, and emerging protocol standards for wireless asynchronous transfer mode make it worthwhile to take a closer look at distributed channel access techniques. Given the framework of spectrum characteristics and the need to support multiple devices and services, criteria for evaluating new distributed channel access techniques are described.
