Microcellular Handover in Wireless ATM
نویسندگان
چکیده
Wireless ATM networks can be implemented by adding mobility support functions to fixed ATM switches. This paper first describes a possible wireless ATM network and protocol architecture relying on “modular addition” of mobility support functions. This architecture sets a broad context where future WATM research can be conducted to elaborate on its various components. Within this context, this paper presents a holistic solution for one of the most important mobility support functions: the handover protocol for intra-switch handovers.

Design and analysis of QoS supported frequent handover schemes in microcellular ATM networks
Wireless information networks need to employ small radio cells to support large user populations. However, this will impose extra burden on network traffic control as a result of frequent handover behavior. Existing approaches to support a high handover rate still have cell loss and cell out-of-sequence penalty while the handover is in progress. This paper proposes a novel handover protocol tha...

Mobile/Wireless ATM is a rapidly developing field of research and standardization. The ATM Forum’s Wireless ATM specification version 1.0 is expected to be released by the end of 1999. It will cover the issues of wireless access to the ATM network and the network signaling and control functions for basic support of mobile virtual circuit ATM connections. While at the moment, WATM system are env...
متن کاملHandover Strategies Challenges in Wireless ATM Networks
To support user mobility for a wireless network new mechanisms are needed and are fundamental, such as paging, location updating, routing, and handover. Also an important key feature is mobile QoS offered by the WATM. Several ATM network protocols should be updated to implement mobility management and to maintain the already ATM QoS over wireless ATM networks. A survey of the various schemes an...

متن کاملPerformance models of handover protocols and buffering policies in mobile wireless ATM networks
Due to the connection-oriented nature of the asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), one of the challenges in mobile wireless ATM (WATM) systems is the management of terminal handovers. When ATM connections are reestablished to follow terminals moving between areas covered by distinct base stations, seamless handover protocols are necessary to guarantee that ATM cells are delivered to terminals in th...
