    What is wireless ATM?

    Wireless ATM was first introduced in 1992 [RAY92],


    to provide for an integrated broadband
    application programming interface (API) to the
    ATM network for a variety of mobile terminals.
    In 1996, a WATM working group was formed under
    the ATM forum.
    The first fundamental challenge for the
    implementation of a WATM system is that the
    ATM was designed for fast switches connecting
    extremely wideband and reliable fiber
    transmission channels.

    Reference Model of WATM:
    The basic elements of the traditional ATM networks are ATM switches and ATM
    terminals.
    The ATM forum defines two protocols
    1. user—network interface (UNI) protocol connecting user terminals to the
    switches
    2. network—network interface (NNl) protocol connecting two switches together
    [STA9Sb].
    The elements of a WATM network are shown in Figure
