Handover re-routing schemes for connection oriented services in mobile ATM networks
B.A.J. Banh, G. Anido, Eryk Dutkiewicz · 2002
Wireless ATM (WATM) will be used to support broadband applications for future generation mobile services. To achieve this, the existing ATM protocol must be augmented with mobility management capabilities. One of the important components of mobility management is the ability of the network to seamlessly re-route existing connections to different parts of the network. To date, a number of schemes have been proposed for broadband wireless networks. These schemes can potentially be used in WATM networks. We compare the performance of these schemes in terms of their complexity, handover latency, communication disruption period and buffer and bandwidth requirements.
