Abstract :
The interconnection of cellular wireless radio basesites is discussed. The IEEE 802.6 metropolitan area network (MAN) is proposed to facilitate such interconnection over approximately 50 city blocks. These access MAN´s are themselves interconnected via bridges or via asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) switches. A distributed database architecture is proposed to facilitate location and tracking of roaming subscribers. Signaling for call setup and handoff is analyzed
