Abstract

AbstractConsidering the high‐speed data transfer by the ABR service class in a wireless ATM network, we investigate the impact of forward and backward hard handover protocols on the performance of the three rate‐based ABR flow‐control schemes Explicit Rate Indication for Congestion Avoidance (ERICA+), Fuzzy Explicit Rate Marking (FERM) and a new promising adaptation of FERM, called FERMA. We evaluatc the performance of these flow‐control protocols by means of an object‐oriented simulation modcl of a basic client‐scrvcr architecture. Considering a standard hard handover protocol in a wircless ATM nctwork. wc show that our proposcd enhanced signaling schemes based on a congestion‐awarencssconceptand their integratibn into thc ABR flow control have a positive influence on the stability and efficiency of the cell transfer by ABR connections. Morcovcr, we point out that the new adaptation of the fuzzy‐control scheme FERM provides a promising altcrnativc lo the ERICA+ algorithm.
