Emerging Mobile Networking Architectures

Abstract

In this paper we discuss key issues and considerations relating to evolving mobile network architecture design and integration. We provide a quick view of the role of several mobile network technologies at an architectural level and then describe ongoing related work in mobile network evaluation and testing. Finally, some newer design work and initial evaluation being done on mobile ad hoc multicast forwarding is presented. In conclusion, we present our viewpoint on present and future work areas relating to cross layer protocol design for mobile wireless networks.
