ABSTRACT

Recently, there has been an increased interest in the topic of wireless 
ATM.  The subject raises current 
interest because of the potential combination of two of the hottest 
topics in communications, but at the 
same time raises the natural question of its viability, and sometimes 
even of its desirability. In this talk, 
we will survey potential applications of wireless ATM--we will describe 
what is usually meant by the 
term; we will discuss why it may make sense; and we will talk about some 
of the proposals for building 
systems based on it. The emphasis in this talk is on the physical layer, 
the data link layer, and the 
access layer. We will also present general observations on each of these 
layers, as well as present some research solutions to the problems therein.


BIOGRAPHY

Ender Ayanoglu received his Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from 
Stanford University in 1986. 
Since then he has been with Bell Laboratories. His current research 
interests are in wireless ATM, 
particularly physical layer and data link-layer issues, multi-wavelength 
optical networking, and general 
source and channel coding applications in communication networks.  
Currently he is serving as the vice 
chair of the IEEE Communications SocietyUs Communication Theory Technical 
Committee and as the 
editor of the IEEE Transactions on Communications for communication 
theory and coding 
applications. He is the author of a paper that received the 1995 IEEE 
Stephen O. Rice Prize Paper Award.
