Abstract

This paper presents design considerations for future-generation personal communication networks (PCN) that integrate wireless access with the broadband wireline asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network. Apart from the wireless ATM network architecture, some of the other issues that we report on include the design of the wireless-to-wireline network interfaces, and the specification of a wireless protocol reference model. Two examples are given of ways to accomplish diversity and related handoffs in the wireless ATM network
