Signaling and mobility control for wireless intelligent ATM CPNs

A wireless intelligent ATM access system is explored from a signaling protocol viewpoint. The proposed architecture is consistent with the B-ISDN user-network interface (UNI) signaling structure as a wireless local area network to access the ATM core network infrastructure, and can be adapted to cater also for a wireless broadband access network for future mobile telecommunication systems. Emphasis is placed on taking advantage of well-developed protocol standards, where appropriate, to allow the easy introduction of the proposed architecture in the real world. The evaluation of the signaling performance of the system captures the effect of the proposed structure on the performance of call and mobility control and yields results, which fall within acceptable signaling performance measures
