چکیده
In this article we present RNET MAC-a novel MAC protocol to be used in wireless ATM (WATM) environments. The MAC protocol features a distributed control for media access. Therefore RNET MAC ts well for spontaneous network setups and frequent network connguration changes. We discuss some design options and show basic performance results of RNET MAC in diierent network scenarios such as fully meshed, hidden terminal and client server.

متن کاملPerformance Measures of Wireless Protocols for Atm Networks
The concept of wireless ATM is now being actively considered as a potential framework for nextgeneration wireless communication networks capable of supporting integrated multimedia services with different QoS requirements. Several key subsystem design issues for wired ATM and wireless networks needs to be readdressed in the scope of the wireless ATM, which has the capability to extend the stati...
متن کاملMASCARA, a MAC Protocol for Wireless ATM
The Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol of a Wireless ATM (WATM) system is a critical component as it lies between the traditional ATM layer and the RF-based physical layer whose characteristics are far from those of fibberor copper-based conventional ATM media. The constraints imposed on the MAC protocol of a WATM system lead to consider the design of a Half Duplex (HDX), point-to-multipoint,...
متن کاملQoS-Oriented MAC Technology for Distributed All-MPLS/ATM Satellite Integrated Platform for 3G+/4G and WLAN Communications
The future generation of satellite multimedia communications requires dynamical control of space bandwidth resource and stringent quality of service (QoS) guarantee. It is known, that the medium access control (MAC) protocols developments have a dominant effect on the ensuring ability of the QoS and other breakthrough wireless technologies 4G. This paper describes novel QoS-oriented long-delay ...
