Mobility Management Extensions in the Wireless ATM Network Demonstrator

In this paper we present the mobility management mechanisms designed to support terminal movement in a wireless ATM CPN environment. These mechanisms support handovers between mobility enhanced ATM switches as well as location management for a large population of Mobile Terminals (MTs) that roam in the coverage area of the wireless ATM network. Furthermore, a sophisticated handover procedure is proposed that enables access points (base stations) to force MTs to move to a new radio cell, for reasons of adjusting the network load. 1

Integrated Management Plane for Policy based End-to-End Reconfiguration Services

In order to address end-to-end reconfigurability, it is important to enable the management of such a complex functionality. Several efforts have been undertaken towards addressing aspects of reconfigurability in various areas and levels ([1], [2], [3]). In this paper we introduce a generic management framework to cope with reconfigurability aspects at all layers (Reconfiguration Management Plane). We also present an enhanced architecture (RCSPM-MOBIVAS) for the support of flexible service provision and reconfiguration control taking into consideration the mapping of Reconfiguration Management Plane functionality into the respective entities of the architecture

EU FP7 INFSO-ICT-317669 METIS, D4.2 Final report on trade-off investigations

Research activities in METIS WP4 include several aspects related to the network-level of future wireless communication networks. Thereby, a large variety of scenarios is considered and solutions are proposed to serve the needs envisioned for the year 2020 and beyond. This document provides vital findings about several trade-offs that need to be leveraged when designing future network-level solutions. In more detail, it elaborates on the following trade-offs: • Complexity vs. Performance improvement • Centralized vs. Decentralized • Long time-scale vs. Short time-scale • Information Interflow vs. Throughput/Mobility enhancement • Energy Efficiency vs. Network Coverage and Capacity Outlining the advantages and disadvantages in each trade-off, this document serves as a guideline for the application of different network-level solutions in different situations and therefore greatly assists in the design of future communication network architectures
