Wireless ATM LAN

A TDMA-based multiplexing protocol is introduced as a candidate multiple access scheme, for an indoor radio LAN which is based on the ATM concept. This protocol attempts to provide high bandwidth utilisation and satisfy, the delay requirements of different types of services. The signaling for the radio link access is in accordance with that used at the user-to-network interface (UNI) of the public B-ISDN. The proposed solution deals with the problem of synchronizing various connections which belong to a multiconnection call and takes advantage of the discontinuous data generation which characterizes voice and file transfers.
