Performance Evaluation of ABR Flow-Control Protocols in a Wireless ATM Network

Wireless Networks Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Using an object-oriented simulation model of a basic client–server scenario in a wireless ATM network, we study the impact of handover and error-control protocols on the performance of high-speed data communication by the ABR service class. We present performance results of the ABR flow-control protocols ERICA and ERICA+ and discuss some implications for the protocol design.
