Abstract :
This paper describes research in support of a project to implement a wireless ATM network utilizing OFDM for rural communities. There are many issues of the wireless environment that OFDM helps to combat and ATM appears to be a useful protocol for implementing present and future data requirements. The main focus of the paper is a simulation model of a contention based reservation channel, connection admission control, and output buffering analysis. The results appear to support the conclusion that wireless ATM can support a vast mix of data requirements of today and tomorrow
