Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the issue of extending the ATM protocol to support connection handoffs. A VP-based hierarchical handoff scheme is proposed to support ATM protocol over the integration of the wireless and wireline networks. This scheme provides a fast and efficient handoff connection processing mechanism. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed protocol, we implement it on our ATM network testbed. The mobility of MHs is investigated by using the Ethernet network to simulate the wireless segment between mobile hosts and base stations.
