Mobile VPN over WLAN a Teleservice of the UMTS C. F. Grecas, I. S. Venieris
VPN’s Structure The public nature of the facilities connecting the sectors of the VPN is not perceived by the users
The Mobile VPN architecture employing the UMTS’s core network
The WLAN’s basic architecture • DS: Distribution System (Ethernet) • AP: Performs the wireless-to-wired bridging function • BSA: Basic Service Area covered by a single AR • ESS: Linkage of two or more BSAs belonging to the same DS
The protocol stack modification of the SGSN For the requirements of the Mobile VPN the SGSN degenerates into a typical layer 3 router
The protocol stack modification of the GGSN Similar “horizontal” extension are made to the GGSN protocol stack
The VPN's subnets connected to the UMTS Core Network. Every WLAN section constitutes an ESS All the MSs are registered as members of every ESS
The Location Update mechanism (IP layer) Host-specific routes ICMP packets
Traffic Handling within the MPVN Within the same ESS (WLAN resources/techniques) Between different ESSs (Section Router, PLMN platform ) To and from the public Internet (Section Router)
Cohabitation with the conventional UMTS services • The coexistence with the rest of the UMTS services is to be assured by the cell granularity of the UMTS cells • The system specifications foresee even the employment of pico-cells in the areas of heavy traffic • A trade off should be adopted between the UMTS and WLAN Mobile Station following the QoS guaranteed
