Abstract

Indoor wireless communications will become important in providing access to networks which will increasingly use ATM technology to allow multimedia service applications. This paper presents two possible architectures for wireless access to an ATM LAN: the centralized and the distributed wireless controller cases. The detailed signaling procedures for both the cases are discussed, and the two architectures are compared in terms of their signaling and complexity implications
