This paper describes the protocol stack for an ATM air interface that is ab
le to efficiently support all ATM service categories. The multiplexing of A
TM cells on the radio link is controlled by a service strategy that optimiz
es the resource allocation based on the negotiated quality of service. A me
dium access control (MAC) protocol realizes the transmission order of ATM c
ells given by the service strategy. The paper focuses on a strategy for tra
nsmission of acknowledgments of an automatic repeat request (ARQ) protocol
and on a collision resolution algorithm for transmission of capacity reques
ts over the uplink. The performance of the overall protocol stack is evalua
ted under realistic traffic and channel models by means of an integrated st
ochastic simulation model. (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All
