WMAN ARCHITECTURE FOR MANAGING NETWORK RESOURCES AND MOBILITY.

摘要

The present invention proposes an infrastructure to enable seamless mobilityfor wireless metropolitan area networks (WMANs) and to provide for managementof spectrum and network resources. An WMAN reference model is introduced wherethe radio resource management (RRM) and handover (HO) sub ilayer is introducedinto the protocol stack. The WMAN management plane is responsible for the RRMand HO management. Several physical and logical network architecture optionsfor WMAN management are proposed.
