چکیده

The provisioning of Quality-of-Service and the interworking between heterogeneous mobile environments will be of vital importance for the future economic success of mobile telecommunications. This paper presents a strictly practical performance evaluation of live and lab UMTS/GPRS/WLAN networks as performed within the project WISQY – Wireless Inter-System Quality-ofService. We report on experiments using Mobilkom Austria’s UMTS/GPRS live network and compare the results to lab trials results. Moreover, a novel IPv6-based mobility management approach is evaluated through extensive measurements in a dedicated WLAN testbed. Our performance evaluation results provide quantitative information which might be especially useful for the correct calibration of simulation scenarios for 3G and beyond networks.

MCIP: A 3G/IP Interworking System Supporting Inter-Cluster Soft Handoff

In this paper, a novel 3-tier Mobile Cellular IP (MCIP) access network is proposed for interworking between a third generation (3G) wireless cellular system and a wireline Internet Protocol (IP) based network. An inter-cluster hard handoff scheme and an inter-cluster soft handoff scheme are proposed, based on the 3-tier MCIP system model, the core network protocol stacks, and the underlying MCI...
