Abstract

The basic concepts of the MAC (medium access control) protocol and the underlying traffic scheduling algorithm developed within the ACTS (Advanced Communications Technologies and Services) project Magic WAND (Wireless ATM Network Demonstrator) are outlined. A novel multiple access technique for the radio interface of WAND is proposed. Simulation results, showing that the proposed technique significantly improves system performance, are also presented
