Why Hybrid ARQ? (for Quality Critical Traffic) ARQ provides high reliability at good and moderate channel qualities. The throughput drops rapidly, if the channel error rate is high as in wireless channels. Hybrid ARQ FEC first tries to correct the frequent error patterns. If it fails, then ARQ takes over. Hybrid ARQ Types Type I Hybrid ARQ scheme Type II Hybrid ARQ scheme: only additional parity bits are retransmitted to combine with the previous packet (incremental redundancy). Mobility Management in W-ATM Networks Location Management Types of Mobility TERMINAL MOBILITY (network should route calls to the MT regardless of its point of attachment) PERSONAL MOBILITY (users should access the network wherever they are; UPT (Universal Pers. Tel #)) SERVICE PROVIDER MOBILITY (allow user to roam beyond regional networks). Location Management Cost Tradeoff Solution Location Areas (GSM) = Registration Areas (IS-41) Handoff Types W-ATM Architecture LOCATION SERVICE * Use of DATABASES to maintain records of MTs. * When location information is obtained from DATABASE, TERMINAL PAGING is used to deliver calls to MTs. * Requires signaling, querying and paging. LOCATION ADVERTISEMENT * No databases but location information is broadcast throughout the network. Location Service: Method 1: Two Tier Database (Akyol/Cox’96) Explanation: * Bi-level databases are distributed to ZONES throughout the network. * Each zone is maintained by a ZONE MANAGER controlling the zone’s location update procedures. * Each MT has a home zone where it is permanently registered. MT transmits a location registration request message to the new zone. Message contains User ID Number, authentication data and ID of the previous zone. Current zone manager determines the home zone of the MT from the previous zone ID. Current and home zone managers authenticate the user and update home user profile with the new location information. Home zone sends
