Abstract

Developments in new frequency bands for wireless communications make it possible to provide a broadband channel for new services. The concept of BRAIN (broadband radio access integrated network in MM-wave band) comes about due to recent R&D activities in MM-wave communications. In order to implement integrated multimedia transmissions in a wireless environment without losing the compatibility with wired networks, the concept of wireless ATM (WATM) has been proposed. Compared with wired ATM, wireless access and mobility management are two major topics for implementation of WATM. In this paper, we focus on the topic of wireless access and propose an integrated multimedia transmission protocol, which is based on RS-ISMA (slotted idle signal multiple access with reservation), to support CBR, VBR, ABR and UBR service categories as well as to provide adaptive retransmissions for indoor systems of BRAIN
