Abstract

Existing wireless networks have little in common, as they are designed around vendor-specific devices that use specific radio access technologies to provide particular functionality. Next generation networks seek to integrate wide-area and local-area wireless systems in order to provide seamless services to the end user. This would provide freedom of movement between indoor/outdoor and metropolitan/enterprise coverage while maintaining continuity of applications experience. Seamless Mobility is an experiential architecture, predicated on providing mechanisms that enable a user to accomplish his or her tasks without regard to technology. This paper examines how autonomic mechanisms can satisfy some of the challenges in realizing seamless mobility solutions.
