Abstract

The future of telecommunication networks is wireless, ubiquitous, broadband and personal access to real-time multimedia convergent services. This paper presents an overview of Mobile IPv6 technology in the context of future "beyond 3G" wireless networks and reports the experiments done at PT Inovação. First, we provide a brief introduction to Mobile IPv6, describing its functionality and its role in future "beyond 3G" wireless networks. We then present a vision of the technologies, architectures and services expected from future wireless networks, also referred to as wireless networks "beyond 3G". We describe our test bed and the Mobile IPv6 experiments, reporting and analysing the results. Finally, we draw some conclusions and point to future work.
