Tu02: Architectures and Protocols of the Wireless IP
Duration: Full Day (Monday, Nov. 29)

Instructor:
Abbas Jamalipour, The University of Sydney, Austrialia

Abstract:
Access to broadband Internet services on a mobile platform has introduced tremendous research and development in the area of wireless IP in the past few years. Existing and emerging wireless technologies for wide area networks and hot spots, including third generation wireless cellular systems such as UMTS and cdma2000, wireless LAN defined in IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi) and HIPERLAN standards, as well as wireless MAN proposals such as IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX) and HIPERMAN, have provided substantial elements for realization of the broadband mobile Internet. Such a system should not only provide the commonly known Internet services, but also traditional voice and other real-time applications and eventually more advanced broadband multimedia services. This will require more research on architectures and protocols that interconnect those heterogeneous networks efficiently and in a seamless form. In this tutorial, the state-of-the art technologies for the wireless IP will be explored. The change in protocol design required for a complete migration from traditional wired network into a heterogeneous wired/wireless will be explained and the architectural concepts to support a broadband wireless IP will be discussed. The tutorial will also examine third generation wireless networks in detail and show that how 3G and beyond networks could support the wireless IP. Major issues toward realization of the wireless IP including quality of service, mobility and traffic management, TCP and IP protocol enhancement will be addressed. Standardization activities will be included in the tutorial too.
