Throughput of ATM cell over wireless Rayleigh channel

In this paper, an error correction scheme employing side information is proposed for the first time to improve the throughput of asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) transmission over a Rayleigh fading channel using binary phase shift keying (BPSK) modulation. With the combination of the selective repeat protocol (SR) in the link layer and the error correction scheme, the throughput of the ATM cell is improved significantly. Numerical examples show that at high bit error rate the throughput gain is enormous.
