Architecture of High-speed Wireless ATM Network Original author: Anna Hac University of Hawaii at Manoa Presented by Wei Wang York University
Contents • Background • AT&T’s solution • NEC’s solution • British Telecom’s solution • Cambridge’s solution • Conclusion
Background • Design consideration:
AT&T’s solution • “Distributed control” strategy • Call server – Call control • Connection server – Connection control • Channel server • Location management server
AT&T’s solution (Con’d) Cluster-based multi network configuration
AT&T’s solution (Con’d) • Three type of application: • Cellular phone applications • Laptop data applications • Multimedia-based applications • Distributed algorithms • Parallelism during call setup
NEC’s solution • Multi-service wireless Personal Communication Network (PCN) • Retaining QoS classes • Providing extensions to ATM protocol • Compatible with fixed ATM network • 48-payload in PCN packet
NEC’s solution (Con’d) • Hierarchical architecture • Each PCN node contains: • ATM switch, Multiplexer,Base station and MSU • VCs are divided into fixed and dynamic segments
BT’s solution • 3G - UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunication System) • Support a variety mobile functions • Intelligent Network-based architecture • Minimize burden caused by handoff • Use IN for handoff control • Increase Mobile Switching Center’s (MSC) processing capability
Cambridge Solution • Wireless ATM LAN • Based on combination of hierarchical organization and distributed control and uniformity • Compatibility with ATM • Similar wireless ATM header
Cambridge Solution (Con’d) • Handoff processing • Partial re-establishment • Crossover Switch (CX) • Distributed handoff management • Switch discovery mechanism
Conclusion • Separation of connection, call and connection control • Hierarchical location management • Extension to existing ATM protocol stack • Mobility agents are used to lessen the burden on switches • Compatibility with existing ATM protocol
