Abstract

The paper deals with error control proceduresbased on repetitions necessary for an ATM air interface,which enables a full integration of wireless (W) ATMterminals into a fixed ATM network. The architecture and functionality of an additional LLC layer atthe air interface are explained. A set of ARQ protocolsfor the different ATM service classes is investigated.The protocol for VBR services is able to control the number of retransmissions depending on therequirements on maximum delay and residual cell lossratio. It also takes into account instantaneousconditions such as channel load from other sources.Furthermore, the protocol is able to discard ATM cells toavoid and resolve congestion. The performance of theprotocol has been evaluated by simulations.
