A framework for fast handoff schemes in wireless ATM networks

Includes bibliographical references.In this research, we focus on providing a framework that extends the fixed ATM standard to support user mobility in future WATM networks. The WATM architecture allows for the migration of fixed ATM networks without major modifications. Thus most of the mobility functions are implemented on the wireless access network. The most important component supporting mobility in a cluster is the Mobility Enhanced Switch (MES). We propose using direct links between adjacent MESs to support Permanent Virtual Channels (PVCs) in order to facilitate fast inter-cluster handoffwith minimum handofflatency. This research addresses a framework on handoff mobility by proposing three fast handoff re-routing schemes based on the support of PVCs
