Abstract

This paper deals with design and prototyping of mobility support protocols for mobile/wireless ATM networks. Specific ATM UNI/NNI protocol extensions for location management and handoff control are proposed and described in context of existing ATM networks. The viability of these protocols is established via the implementation of a proof-of-concept prototype mobile ATM network. The prototype system is used to validate the proposed location management and handoff protocols and/or to demonstrate support of both ATM and non-ATM mobile devices
