Recent growth in cellular networks has motivated research on broadband access technologies for the support of diverse services over wireless networks. Wireless Asynchronous Transfer Mode (WATM) has been proposed as a transport solution for next generation wireless and personal communication networks and ATM Adaptation Layer 2 (AAL2) has been identified suitable for the support of low data rate and delay sensitive voice traffic generated in cellular networks. In this paper, we study the performance of AAL2 over a burst error wireless channel. Analytical expressions for performance measures of interest are derived for the Gilbert-Elliott channel and numerical results are presented to demonstrate the effect of burst errors on the AAL2 frame structure and the AAL2 performance.
