Architecture and Signaling Protocols for Wireless CATM Networks

摘要

This work presents a frame-structure, referred to as CATM (CATV ATM), to serve as a wireless network infras- tructure. The widespread CATV (Community Antenna TV) net- works are attractive infrastructures for next generation wireless networks. Providing interactive broadband services over CATV networks is a major trend in communication and ATM (Asyn- chronous Transfer Mode) networks with broadband communica- tion features well fitted to be the backbone of CATV networks.
