Abstract

The wireless systems entered a phase characterized by the integration of the existing platforms into hybrid access wireless IP architectures. The requests of the real time applications ran in heterogeneous environments need the presence of a mechanism for resource negotiation and management. The paper suggests the design and implementation of an inter-domain QoS mechanism in a hybrid access wireless IP architecture using mobile agents. The hybrid access wireless IP architecture intends to integrate wireless spatial and terrestrial wide area networks, and wireless metropolitan and local area networks. The demands imposed to the inter-domain QoS mechanism recommend the use of mobile agents as an alternative to the classical method of resource reservation and QoS parameters transfer. In order to provide the quality of services, mobile agents act on behalf of the user. Inter-domain QoS support proposed by this mechanism needs the accomplishment of three phases: resource negotiation, resource allocation, and resource management. Each phase is associated to a corresponding specific profile. The purpose of the mobile agents is to determine the selection of a corresponding profile according to the negotiated set of QoS parameters.
