Summary: 
In wireless ATM networks, the condition of the transmission channel fluctuates significantly as a result of many causes such as multipath, shadow phasing, and so forth. Several schemes have been proposed to take care of transmission errors. Some schemes are suitable for favorable channel conditions, while others are more suitable for unfavorable channel conditions. Thus, using a fixed error control scheme regardless of channel conditions is destined to be inefficient. This paper presents a dynamic error control scheme that dynamically selects an appropriate error control scheme according to the conditions of the transmission channel. Using this method, we can decrease both errors and the overhead of redundancy.
