Abstract

Recent growth in cellular networks has motivated research on broadband access technologies for the support of diverse services over wireless networks. Wireless asynchronous transfer mode (WATM) has been proposed as a transport solution for next generation wireless and personal communication networks and ATM adaptation layer 2 (AAL2) has been identified suitable for the support of low data rate and delay sensitive voice traffic generated in cellular networks. In this paper, we study the performance of AAL2 over a burst error wireless channel. Analytical expressions for performance measures of interest are derived for the Gilbert–Elliott channel and numerical results are presented to demonstrate the effect of burst errors on the AAL2 frame structure and the AAL2 performance.
