Abstract :
This paper presents a mobile multimedia applications perspective of a wireless ATM network (WATMnet) which has been developed first as a proof-of-concept prototype, and is now in the process of migration to real-world field trials. The WATMnet system provides mobile terminals (such as laptop PCs and PDAs) the ability to communicate via quality-of-service (QoS) based ATM virtual circuits at bit-rates up to 25 Mbps. We focus on media processing and software techniques used by mobile multimedia terminals in this wireless networking environment for QoS adaptation and media scaling support. Some experimental results are presented.
