An Architecture for Wireless LAN/WAN Integration
Overview
In this project, a full stack adaptation model and a simple subnet architecture that superimposes Mobile-IP on cellular type wireless LANs are developed. The idea is to use Mobile-IP as an integrative layer atop different LAN/WAN networks. While Mobile-IP is widely used in wireless WANs it is not known how well it performs under a wireless LAN environment, against native MAC-level handoff. We have conducted experimental analysis of the performance of Mobile-IP based W-LAN using 802.11 W-LAN.People
