WIRELESS METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORK ARCHITECTURE FOR MANAGING NETWORK RESOURCES AND MOBILITY

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To propose an infrastructure to enable seamless mobility for wireless metropolitan area networks (WMANs) and to provide for management of spectrum and network resources.

SOLUTION: A WMAN reference model is introduced and a radio resource management (RRM) and handover (HO) sub-layer is introduced into a protocol stack. A WMAN management plane is responsible for the RRM and HO management. Several physical and logical network architecture options for WMAN management are proposed.
