Abstract :
With the ever increasing demand for easy portability and mobility of devices supporting diverse mobile multimedia applications, the need for the adaptation of a broadband infrastructure to a wireless scenario has arisen. Mobile multimedia networks like the wireless ATM are faced with challenges relating to wireless channel access. In this paper, we propose and simulate policies vis-a-vis medium access in wireless ATM networks. We also discuss the modelling of traffic generators, the evaluation of delay and buffer length bounds and the implementation of a WATM MAC simulator
