Abstract

This paper presents the analysis of some MAC protocols for multimedia applications in wireless ATM networks. The novelty of the approach is the delivery of multimedia applications over separate bearers over the radio interface while maintaining the original synchronisation degree. The presented techniques are able to guarantee low jitter, high degree of synchronization among different streams of the same user application, as well as to effectively exploit the limited radio spectrum of a wireless air interface.
