Medium access control protocol and method for wireless ATM networks
First Claim
1. A method of controlling a medium access for wireless ATM network between a plurality of mobile terminals and an access control station in a wireless ATM system by using the up/down-stream frames, comprising:
- (1) a connection control step of connecting the plurality of mobile terminals to the access control station through the up-stream frame;
(2) a data transmission step of making the access control station to transmit the slot allocation data dynamically varied to each mobile terminal in every down-stream frame according to the status data if the status data of each mobile terminal are transmitted by the connection, and making the mobile terminal transmit the message to the access control station through the up-stream frame according to the allocated data; and
(3) a connection release step of standing by for a predetermined period of time according to the connection release request of the mobile terminal and releasing the connection by examining the traffic characteristic by the access control station.
