Performance Evaluation of the Identifier Splitting Algorithm with Polling in Wireless ATM Networks

This paper presents a performance analysis of the Identifier Splitting Algorithm combined with polling, a contention resolution scheme used to inform the Base Station about the bandwidth needs of the Mobile Station in a wireless ATM network. An analytical model leads to the evaluation of performance parameters which determine the throughput and the access delay of the algorithm for different system parameters. This analysis is used to investigate the influence of the system parameters on the performance, from which guidelines for parameter tuning can be derived.
