Abstract :
The ATM/HF network architecture is a HF radio broadcast network that utilizes three distinct MAC protocols. ATM/HF integrates into existing communications systems and supports existing and proposed traffic types. The frame and wireless packet structures are based upon a 128 kbps data rate and descriptions of the reference layer model and basic operations show how the network is established and operates. Simulation shows that a single ATM/HF channel can statistically support six voice and ten data users. Use of multiple channels can increase the capacity and range of the network. By using the ATM AAL2 trunking for narrowband services, it is possible to increase the capacity of the current ATM/HF design
