Abstract

The flexibility offered by the ATM transport mechanism and its potential capabilities, together with its compatibility with the B‐ISDN, makes ATM the prime candidate for the support of multimedia services over the wireless medium. However, technical issues remain to be resolved in relation to the feasibility of ATM for the support of mobility over the radio interface. This paper examines network issues in supporting handover in a wireless ATM network. In particular, analysis has been performed for a virtual tree-based network architecture. Results have shown that by using multicast transmission and by using a distributed numbering algorithm, the potential problems of cell-loss and cell-duplication have been eliminated.
