Abstract :
There is an emergent interest in providing mobile users with ubiquitous wireless access to multimedia information. In this paper we present a network architecture and protocols to achieve this goal and describe their implementation in a prototype network called SWAN. Our network model assumes end to end ATM connectivity. Thus, the key question we address is how best to enhance ATM to support host mobility and wireless access
