Description
Summary:Asynchronous Transfer Mode(ATM) networks and wireless(cellular) communications networks are merging to form wireless ATM networks. While this integration can provide many benefits, it also leads to many technical challenges in implementation. In the interconnected heterogeneous networks, the quality of service (QoS) issue needs to be resolved for different classes of traffic as the performance criteria differ widely from low speed, less reliable cellular systems to high-speed ATM networks. A resource allocation scheme that can facilitate efficient network utilization and is fair to all types of traffic is thus required.
