Abstract

In general, the users of wireless ATM terminalsrequest the same functionality and quality of service asusers of wired terminals. These user requirements can betransformed into the demand for building an ATM multiplexer around the air interfacewhich is characterized by a radio channel inside. Themain difference between this virtual ATM multiplexeraround the air interface and a fixed ATM multiplexer is the distribution of the multiplexingfunction between wireless terminals and the basestation. For the uplink this requires a frequentnotification of the ATM cell scheduler in the basestation about the status of the incoming buffers inside thewireless terminals. This paper focuses on differentmethods for transmitting capacity request messages (alsodesignated as reservation request) over theuplink.
