WLAN-GPRS Integration for Next-Generation Mobile Data Network 報告人:李偉晟 Outline Motivation The general aspects of integrated WLAN-cellular network Interworking architecture Tight Couple Architecture Loose Couple Architecture Conclusion Motivation The operator has the large investments made for new spectrum in which to offer 3G services, but 3G data technology is not available And 2.5G(GPRS) cellular data technology is available in large coverage, but cant meet business and multimedia application requirement The recent evolution and successful deployment of WLAN systems worldwide, and its high data rate An integrated network combines the strenghths of each, provides users with ubiquitous data service. The general aspects of integrated WLAN-cellular network Who owns the WLAN? Cellular operator Wireless Internet Service Provider(WISP) Session Mobility Interworking Architecture The Tight Couple Architecture The Loose Couple Architecture The Tight Couple Architecture Benefits Seamless service continuation across WLAN and GPRS Reuse of GPRS AAA Authentication, Authorization, and Accouting Reuse of GPRS infrastructure Access to core GPRS services WLAN System Description A WLAN network is deployed with one or more off-the-shelf access ponts(APs) APs are connected by means of a distribution system(DS) In the system, DS is a LAN (IEEE 802.3) APs behave like base stations The service area of a AP is a basic service set (BSS) Each WLAN composes many BSSs, all form an ESS The WLAN is considered like any other GPRS routing area (RA:group of cells) in the system New Component GPRS interworking function (GIF) Is connected to a DS and to a serving GPRS support node (SGSN) Provide a standardized interface to the GPRS core network Hides the WLAN particularities WLAN adaptation function (WAF) Identifies when the MS associates with a valid AP Informs the LLC layer , which subsequently redirects signaling and data traffic to the WLAN Protocol Architecture WLAN Adaptation Function Funct
