The enormous increase in wireless communications and the growing request for transmission bandwidth have led to the need to configure wireless access networks with cellular structures based on the use of micro- and pico-cells. Applying these structures means that handovers between neighboring cells are more frequent and therefore have to be carefully managed. A key issue in connection with this is the rerouting of the data flows directed to a user making a handover. In fact, the time interval needed to update all the routing tables in the crossover switches is critical because in this interval data have to be stored, and later forwarded once the route towards the new location has been determined. The paper considers a connectionless protocol, the Signaling Network Layer (SNL), which has been conceived for use in the Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) context for connection rerouting purposes and is based on a tree-structured rerouting architecture. Through an analytical model based on a queueing network, its performance is analyzed in terms of the distribution of the rerouting delay. The proposed model is then applied to a case study to demonstrate its versatility and manageability and to get insight into the dimensioning of the rerouting architecture.
