Abstract

ATM protocols do not implement Hand-off functions that are required to support wireless users. Complementary Signaling solution is proposed to implement handoff functions in an ATM network context to support mobility of wireless users. Complementary Signaling uses switched ATM connections to encapsulate mobility related signaling messages between wireless-to-wire line inter-working nodes at the edges of the backbone ATM network and does not require any changes to the existing ATM protocols.
