Abstract :
Future wireless networks promise multimedia communication and computing services for both fixed and mobile users. One of the most important challenges of wireless multimedia service for mobile users is maintaining a guaranteed quality of service over end-to-end connections with multiple mobile endpoints. In this paper, we describe a new handoff routing scheme that supports multimedia traffic in a connection-oriented mobile network, such as Mobile ATM. We analyze and compare the performance of the new scheme with respect to three related handoff rerouting schemes for connection-oriented wireless networks. The new technique shows a superior performance in route efficiency and bandwidth consumption for all traffic types, and a smaller handoff delay for delay sensitive traffic
