Topic:
------
An overview of Wireless ATM (WATM) 

Scope:
------
	Wireless LAN has been growing rapidly in the last decade. Nowaday,
laptop, cellular phone, PDA and pagers are very popular. Many systems
have been developed to provide different services, such as, Personal
Communications Service (PCS), Portable Telephone Systems, and Satellite
Communications System. Normally, these services are not QoS (Quality of
Services) guarantee, so they are not suitable for the fast growing
multimedia applications. 
	ATM has been successfully implemented in a wired networking environment 
to provide a strong QOS guarantee along with the high speed data
transfer capability. With these two main features, the wireless ATM is
build on top of ATM to meet the demand of fast data transfer over the
wireless LAN and the QOS guarantee.

Goal:
-----
 	Introduction to ATM and Wireless ATM
	Standardization of Wireless ATM
	Wireless ATM architecture
	Handover
	Location Management
	QOS control
