Abstract :
This paper introduces a MAC protocol for wireless ATM over CDMA. The protocol´s main advantage is its quality of service guarantees. A Markov analysis of CBR traffic and ABR traffic characteristics is given, and then illustrated by results, which are compared with Monte Carlo simulations
