Abstract

This paper describes a new approach for the performance evaluation of wireless ATM protocols where the channel quality is also taken into consideration. One of many aspects which decide the performance of wireless ATM is the medium access control (MAC) protocol which should satisfy the needs of different services. MAC protocols must also cope with the complex radio environment where fading, multipath propagation and interference cause additional limitations of the system performance. We illustrate the use of this new approach for the evaluation of a MAC protocol used in an indoor wireless ATM network
