Abstract :
This paper examines the current status of research work on mobile ATM and presents the authors´ view on pending technical challenges that require attention and investigation. Mobile ATM is not restricted to the local area and it need not be ground based. This paper examines: (a) location management, (b) connection management, (c) handoff management, (d) routing, and (e) media access for two evolving architectures, namely: (a) wireless ad-hoc ATM networks, and (b) LEO-based satellite ATM networks
