Abstract
In order to deliver ATM services to subscribers via radio links, Data Link Control (DLC) protocols consisting of Medium Access Control (MAC) and Logical Link Control(LLC) must be provided. MAC protocols with centralised control based on Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) and dynamic slot allocations are well suited for Wireless ATM (W-ATM) systems [1]. In order to guarantee the Quality of Service (QoS) for all ATM service classes, an ATM cell scheduler based on static priorities between the service classes must be implemented in the DLC layer. Another important item in designing W-ATM systems is the performance of the uplink signaling. It is shown that the bursts for the uplink signaling can be significantly shorter than the bursts carrying ATM cells and that the ratio of the duration of the uplink signaling bursts and the data bursts has a major influence on the cell delay in W-ATM systems.
