Abstract

This paper reports the design, implementation, and performance evaluation of a CORBA based distributed control architecture for signalling and mobility management in the Wireless ATM Research project (WARP). The distributed control architecture makes use of open signalling to manipulate the various network resources to realise network services such as call control, multicast, and mobility management. Open signalling provides the flexibility and ease in creating new network services as opposed to standard signalling approaches such as the ATM Forum signalling. The network control architecture provides inter-working with the ATM Forum UNI signalling. The open signalling is found to be more flexible compared to the UNI-PNNI based signalling and yields comparable delay performance.
