Supporting mobile multimedia in integrated services networks

Owing to widespread user mobility, limited radio resources, and changing network characteristics, supporting multimedia communications in a mobile internetworking environment is a challenging problem. In this paper, we present an ‘adaptive reserved service’ framework for use in integrated services networks to support mobile connections carrying multimedia traffic. Integrated in the framework are an anticipatory handoff control mechanism which enables fast handoff, and an adaptive link partitioning scheme which enhances handoff success. Besides, bandwidth reservations in the wireline network are dynamically adjusted based on resource availability in the wireless networks. An accompanying reservation protocol not only facilitates distributed control of mobile connections but also provides network feedback to mobile hosts.
