Abstract :
Packet transfer using a connectionless mode provides considerable simplification in mobility and handoff functionalities in wireless networks. We develop an architecture using label switched packet forwarding to enhance traffic control and accommodate service differentiation in the network. We present the protocol structure, mobility support, and routing, which are essential in this architecture. The use of the label merging technique is discussed to support multiple radio links between a mobile and a multiplicity of base stations. Preliminary performance results are presented for the effect of diversity areas on the admission control policy
