Abstract

Virtual Cellular Network (VCN) is a wireless cellular network wherein a single mobile station (MS) can be in simultaneous communication with more than one base station (BS). This paper presents the simulated evaluation of the combination of a link protocol and a multiple-access protocol. The design of the protocol is one of the contributions to the multidisciplinary mobile multimedia communications (MMC) project at Delft University of Technology. The targets include 155 Mbit/s sustained throughput for high-level users, support for inexpensive mobile stations and support for the Internet protocol (IP), as well as an option for asynchronous transfer mode (ATM)
