Abstract
The need to provide multimedia services in the wireless environment has increased remarkably. This is being driven by the rapid service development in the computer environment as well as by the increasing penetration of wireless communication systems. In this paper we describe the development of wireless multimedia services and their requirements. A gradual introduction of multimedia capabilities to the users is discussed. For each phase of this process a corresponding wireless system is identified. Finally, Wireless ATM is presented as a potential technology to be able to provide enough bandwidth along with a good Quality of Service (QoS) support for new multimedia services in a wireless environment.
