Method for establishing radio connection as part of an atm network

摘要

In a radio extension of an ATM network, prior to establishing a given connection the switch of a fixed network enquires access points as to what is the resource situation in said access points. After receiving responses the switch decides to which access point the connection is allocated. During handover, the resource enquiry is accomplished as a response to the handover request sent by the mobile terminal, which request is transmitted either when the connection to the old access point still operates or after the connection is closed; in the latter case, the request is retransmitted through the new access point.
