This article deals with the problem of virtual circuit (VC) management in wireless ATM (W-
ATM) networks with mobile user terminals. In W-ATM networks, a VC terminating at a mobile …

This paper presents a handover protocol for wireless ATM networks, which makes use of in-
band signaling, ie, of ATM resource management cells, to process network handovers and …

Mobile ATM offers a common wired network infrastructure to support mobility of wireless
terminals, independent of the wireless access protocol. In addition, it allows seamless …

This paper provides a review and comprehensivecomparison of existing handover schemes
proposed forwireless ATM networks. Existing schemes include thoseproposed by NEC …

This paper reviews the requirements, characteristics and open issues of wireless ATM,
particularly with regard to handover. It introduces key aspects of WATM and mobility …

The provision of mobility services in ATM networks requires the definition of handover
procedures that allow the proper re-routing of connections to and from the mobile terminal …

Due to the connection-oriented nature of the asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), one of the
challenges in mobile wireless ATM (WATM) systems is the management of terminal …

While handovers of voice calls in a wide area mobile environment are well understood,
handovers of multi-media traffic in a local area mobile environment is still in its early stage of …

The introduction of wireless ATM (WATM) in customer premises network environments
necessitates the design of mobility protocols, since the existing versions of B-ISDN signaling …

This paper presents an architecture for mobility support in a wireless ATM network scenario.
We first introduce a TDMA based wireless ATM system where a datalink control protocol is …
