Abstract :
This paper studies the problems related to the transmission of digital data in ATM-like format over a noisy wireless channel affected by burst of errors. A cell structure more suitable for wireless application is proposed and a protocol for error control and packet re-transmission is presented that provides good throughput performances. This protocol is based on an ARQ scheme with partial re-transmission used in conjunction with a cyclic error detection code. The system parameters are tuned to provide easy conversion between the standard ATM cell and the wireless-ATM one
