Abstract

ATM is the future networking technology in the area of broadband networks. Using fiber optical cabling offers high bandwidth and low error rates. It is supposed to support different kinds of services, e.g., file transfer, videoconferencing, and speech transmissions. To support seamless end-to-end quality of service in a mobile environment a suitable extension to the fixed network part is necessary. In a wireless ATM environment the medium access protocol takes a prominent position. It is responsible for an efficient and fair media access on the shared radio resource. Due to the limited available bandwidth and the much higher error rates on the radio link special provisions must be provided. The compliance of traffic contracts for connections with different quality of services is the aim of our proposed protocol. This is the base of true end-to-end services with quality of service assurance in wireless ATM.
