Abstract:Complementary characteristics of the WLAN and WWAN networks have led to the current research efforts towards their integration. The integration can be done at different levels in the network, resulting in interworking architectures of different capabilities and with different degrees of complexity. We concentrate here on the WLAN integration at the UMTS radio access level. Due to diversity of the existing as well emerging higher-capacity WLAN technologies, their gradual integration into the future integrated m… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
