Service requirements
 The Wireless ATM aims at supporting various types of services like
 text,
 data
 Audio
 video and
 multimedia applications.

 The services may be connection-oriented (CO) or connectionless (CL).

 They include
 constant bit rate (CBR),
 variable bit-rate (VBR) and
 available bit rate (ABR), that provides best effort service.

 WATM should support a reasonable range of service classes,


 bit-rates and
 QoS levels associated with ATM

 Table.1 summarizes typical targets for WATM service capabilities.

WATM services – key aspects
 The Key aspects of WATM and mobility extensions, added to the fixed
ATM network are explained as Follows

1. Cellular Architecture:
 In WATM, the geographical area is organized into small cells.

 The cellular organization of space potentially poses problems like


increased handoff rates (due to crossings across the cells).

 The sharing of bandwidth and re-using of frequencies gives rise to the


problem of co channel interference.

 Lesser the cell size accommodates greater capacity per unit area, but it
increases handover rate and in turn dropping rate due to increased
crossings across the cells.

2. Resource Allocation:
 QoS provisioning is an important consideration inWATM networks.

 An explicit resource allocation using a combination of admission, traffic


shaping and policing mechanisms is used to achieve it.

 The connection admission mechanism must take into account possible


congestion, also ensure a low rate of dropped connections as users
roam among different wireless coverage areas.

 The admission control is based on several criteria such as: traffic and
handover characteristics, call holding time statistics, desired QoS of
each class of traffic and amount of radio resource available.

3. Mobility Management:
 Mobility management deals with issues such as handover signaling, location
management, and connection control.
 Location management is responsible for locating the mobile node.
 It involves two-stage process:
 Location Registration
 In the first stage, the MT periodically notifies the network of its current location and allows the
network to update its location profile.
 Call Delivery.
 The second stage involves querying the network for the user location profile in order to route
incoming calls to the current location of MT.
 Two basic location management schemes have been proposed
 the Mobile PNNI scheme and
 The Location register scheme
 The Handoff Management is responsible for rerouting the mobile terminal
connections from the old to the new base station.
 Connection control deals with connection routing and QoS maintenance.
