Abstract Growing demands for bandwidth as well as mobility led to several research projects which are investigating high speed wireless ATM systems. The design of Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols is a key part in the research activities because of the scarce transmission capacity of radio channels. In this paper, a new MAC protocol structure is introduced, and it is shown how the performance of a wireless ATM system can be optimized by using flexible protocol data units with a low protocol overhead. The MAC protocol is compared with the DSA++ protocol, and the comparison results are calculated first and used as cross check for computer simulations. The simulations were performed in a wireless ATM system which consists of various types of sources, complete Go-back-N (GbN) ARQ scheme and channel model with bursty error characteristic. Furthermore, possible drawbacks of the new proposal are investigated.
