This article presents a survey on medium access control protocols for multimedia traffic in
wireless networks. A basic overview of MAC protocol concepts is presented, and a …

Vast, complex technologies, countless relevant topics, seemingly limitless documentation of
standards and recommendations… In a field as dynamic as wireless technology, how is one …

Wireless ATM (W-ATM) networks have been studied extensively. The extension of ATM
network services to the wireless environment faces many interesting problems. The original …

A dynamic reservation time division multiple access (DR-TDMA) control protocol that
extends the capabilities of asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks over the wireless …

The wireless local area network (WLAN) and wireless ATM are emerging technologies for
wideband wireless local access. Two standards, IEEE 802.11 and ETSI HIPERLAN type 1 …

We present a prototype implementation of a video coding and decoding algorithm suitable
for wireless networks. Typical bursty errors of wireless networks are handled by a coding …

In reservation-based multiple access protocols, before obtaining a contention-free access to
the channel, a mobile terminal must wait for its request packet to be successfully sent to the …

The multiple access control (MAC) problem in a wireless network has intrigued researchers
for years. For a broad-band wireless network such as wireless ATM, an effective MAC …

This paper proposes a novel MAC protocol for wireless ATM networks, which is
characterized by a contention-free mechanism of the reservation request and a deterministic …

In today's wireless networks, there is a great need for quality of service (QoS), because of
the time-bounded voice, audio, and video traffic. A new QoS enhanced standard is being …
