Abstract

This paper reports on European Commission sponsored research within the EXODUS project. The project carries out research in the context of the evolution towards UMTS and performs personal and terminal multimedia mobility experiments using fixed and wide-band radio access in an international ATM network. After introducing the EXODUS platform and services, the paper presents an IN-based functional model which is suitable for support of mobile multimedia services in ATM networks. Interworking and mobility management issues are discussed, and information flows for call handling are presented. The paper includes a presentation of the mobility management and enhanced INAP protocols which have been developed by the EXODUS project.
