Abstract
The transmission of capacity requests is one major problem in wireless LAN at an ATM radio interface. Random ac cess on the one hand is efficient but cannot guarantee a certain ac cess delay. Polling on the other hand maintains a short access delay while introducing a high signalling overhead. We propose a polling scheme based on the nominal cell rate (NCR) to reduce the signalling overhead. Our simulations show that our new polling strategy maintains a low access delay while reducing the over head significantly. The polling scheme can be adapted to all kinds of traffic.
