Abstract
This paper describes the design and performance of a new ATM adaptation layer protocol lAALdTr for improving TCP performance over wireless ATM networks. The wireless links are characterized by higher error rates and burstier error patterns in comparison with the fiber links for which ATM was introduced in the beginning. Since the low performance of TCP over wireless ATM networks is mainly due to the fact that TCP always responds to all packet losses by congestion control, the key idea in the design is to push the error control portion of TCP to the AAL layer so that TCP is only responsible for congestion control. The AALdT is based on a novel and reliable ARQ mechanism to support qualitydcritical TCP traffic over wireless ATM networks. The proposed AAL protocol has been validated using the OPNET tool with the simulated wireless ATM network. The simulation results show that the AALdT provides higher throughput for TCP over wireless ATM networks compared to the existing approach of TCP with AAL 5.
