Abstract

In this paper, we define a general architecture that integrates micromobility protocols and dynamic management of 802.11 QoS MAC mechanisms and evaluate it through simulation in a scenario where a specific micromobility protocol, Cellular IP, is integrated with a specific QoS mechanism, ACKnowledgement Skipping. Our results demonstrate that seamless, QoS aware connectivity can be provided to mobile users, and identify directions to fully integrate these functionalities in a comprehensive WLAN management system.
