    [[abstract]]With advances in wireless technologies, future internetworks will include large numbers of mobile hosts roaming across wireless cells. The goal of this paper is to provide a wireless network communication environment, in which mobile hosts can roam among various access points (wireless cells) and across different subnets. For this purpose, we develop methods to implement and integrate the communication mechanisms of Mobile IP and Inter Access Point Protocol (IAPP). For efficient transmission, we also devise a dual packet filtering technique to filter out unnecessary packet transmission, thereby reducing traffic on wireless networks. Such filtering is especially important because of the limited bandwidth of wireless links. Our work can serve as the reference once IAPP has been approved as standard. (c) 2004 Elsevier Inc.
