Abstract
This paper presents a study on possible architecture design concepts for integrating wireless networks with ATM technology. We discuss four different solutions for wireless ATM access, starting with transparent cell-relaying over the air interface, thereafter focussing on ATM- and AAL-based interworking concepts, and finally discussing proxy approaches. Our analyses show that the performance benefits of higher layer interworking justify their comparatively high technical expenses.
