Abstract :
In the B3G system considered, which is based on the 3GPP UMTS architecture, the initial hypothesis made in this paper, is that the QoS management of the IP access network is taken in charge by a bandwidth broker. A pre-handover signalling for QaS-aware path selection is investigated with the goal of achieving the "always best connected" paradigm. Furthermore, the scalability of the proposed scheme is analysed taking into account the overhead due to IP micromobility, QoS routing, CRRM and bandwidth broker
