            Abstract : 
In this paper, we discuss three possible steps for evolving existing wireless network towards a fully integrated wireless network based on IP (Internet Protocol) technologies. In these evolution steps, the transport and mobility management of both voice and data traffic is gradually transformed from circuit-based into packet-based mechanisms
