A Reference Architecture for All IP Wireless Networks ITSUMO Group itsumo@research.telcordia.com An SAIC Company
The Objective • Propose • a reference architecture for all IP wireless networks, and • an architecture for interworking of the proposed reference model with the existing wireless/wireline infrastructure.

Network Elements • Mobile Station (MS) • User terminal • Adaptive software radios, i.e., full flexibility in the frequency band • Signaling entity • Base Station (BS) • Adaptive software remote multiplexer/demultiplexer • Essentially a MAC layer repeater • Base Station Controller (BSC) • A multi-port bridge (or Switch) with an IP interface to MRC • Interacts with the network control and management system (via the MRC) to control and manage base stations.
Network Elements • Mobile Routing Center (MRC) • An IP Router • Default router of all MSs behind it • May also include BSC functions • Signaling & Control • connection management • means of interaction • between users and network control system, and • among network control entities • MAAAQ, i.e., • Mobility management, • Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA), and • QoS management
