摘要:
The present invention sets forth a network-centric service distribution architecture that integrates a wireless access system in the residence, SOHO, business or public environment through the use of a local broadband network, such as a Residential-Business Broadband Network (RBN), to the service provider's broadband transport network and to a service provider's broadband packet network. The system includes Media Terminal Adapter is coupled via the RBN to the access port(s) and via the service provider's broadband transport network to the service provider's broadband packet network. The access port is coupled to the Media Terminal Adapter via either a RBN (e.g., a Local Area Network—LAN) or simply via a traditional POTS line interface. The access port receives and sends wireless signals to a plurality of RBN devices, allowing the user to control theses devices remotely from the residence, business, SOHO or public environments. The integration of an RBN to a service provider's broadband packet network allows a subscriber to communicate at home and at the office with one communication device anytime anywhere.
摘要:
Integration of packet/cell networking of a wired/wireless network with ATM is achieved by application of a distributed architecture including an ATM network adapted to provide such integration. Network and protocol conversion between the wired/wireless network and the ATM network is performed by a gateway (GAGW) having capabilities to perform this function. A mobility server platform (MSP) handles routing between the gateways to other networks and the micro-mobility functions of the wireless base stations directly connected to the ATM network. A Inter-working function (IWF) element connects base stations (BS) or mobile switching centers (MSC) to ATM switch/routers and in the process provides various protocol conversions necessary to integrate various services into the ATM backbone. The integration of these networks is seamless with little apparent affect on the end point users of the ATM network on the overall system.
