T11 - Broadband Wireless IP through Integration of Wireless LAN and Cellular Systems
| • | Abbas Jamalipour, University of Sydney, Australia |
| Research on wireless IP has become one of the most important topics in the field of telecommunications. On one hand, the increasing popularity of Internet services in the past few years has introduced a kind of necessity to have those services on a mobile platform, and on the other hand, advanced technologies such as cellular and wireless LAN have provided the fundamental requirements to support the wireless Internet. Wireless LAN has already established an important role in providing high-speed data access for cellular systems as it can be seen from recent significant standardization activities. The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) has specified two generic approaches toward the integration of the wireless LAN and GPRS/UMTS systems, known as loose coupling and tight coupling. In this tutorial, the wireless IP, considered not only as an extension of the conventional wired IP but also as a co-operating network with the wired IP, will be introduced. The change in protocol design required for a complete migration from the wired network into a heterogeneous wired/wireless as well as wireless LAN/cellular will be explained and the architectural concepts to support the future broadband and high-speed wireless IP will be discussed. Comparison between the loose and tight coupling architecture as well as with other possible architectures will be provided. The tutorial will also examine the third generation wireless networks and the wireless LAN architectures in detail and show that how the two differently designed networks can efficiently work together. Major research topics in the field including quality of service, mobility and traffic management, TCP, and IP protocol enhancement will be addressed. Standardization activities within 3GPP, 3GPP2, and ETSI will be also included in the tutorial. |
