Abstract The quasi‐synchronous transfer mode (Q‐STM) method realizes cell‐loss free and intranetwork delay jitter‐free transmission on asynchronous transfer mode network, by allocating transmitted cell positions. In this paper, some design issues of the Q‐STM method are considered and the applicability of the Q‐STM method is investigated. First, the algorithms of the call setup procedure for Q‐STM are compared. The effect of the number of subframes (NS) is investigated, and the most efficient NS in an assumed environment is obtained. Moreover, the QOS of ATM service class and processing time of a call setup are evaluated. Through these evaluations, we show guidelines for implementing the Q‐STM and the applicability of the Q‐STM.
