Utilizing Wireless ATM Over OFDM for a Rural Communications Infrastructure

Abstract

This thesis supports a project to implement a wireless ATM network utilizing OFDM for rural communities. In particular, this thesis explores the prospect of integrating the network into the mountain communities of Summit County, Colorado. There are many issues of the wireless environment that OFDM helps to combat and ATM appears to be a useful protocol for implementing present and future data requirements. This thesis presents a brief review of OFDM and a more in-depth review of ATM. The main focus of the thesis is a simulation model of a contention based reservation channel, connection admission control, and output buffering analysis. The results appear to support the conclusion that wireless ATM can support a vast mix of data requirements of today and tomorrow.
