Abstract

WiMAX, a fourth-generation wireless-access technology, has made significant progress both in the standard forums and with wireless network carriers. To ensure service continuity to a legacy end user, it is important for a WiMAX mobile device to interwork with existing third-generation access networks before it is uniquely and ubiquitously deployed. This article addresses this issue and shows how interworking can be achieved with EVDO wireless-access technology, using mobile IP in a dual mode terminal. We present a network architecture solution and detailed call flows.
