PERFORMANCE COMPARISON OF DATA-LINK CONTROL PROTOCOL FOR WIRELESS ASYNCHRONOUS TRANSFER MODE NETWORK

摘要

Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is a networking technology developed to meet the needs of various kinds of traffic-voice, data, video, and so on. ATM, which typically runs on fiberoptic cables, does not include error-control facilities on its payload, while the characteristics of wireless transmission make such an inclusion in wireless ATM (WATM) necessary. Thus, this article seeks to develop a suitable data-link control (DLC) protocol for WATM.
