MTM’99 Workshop Heidelberg, 25 February 1999 Specifically work needs to be done on: The adoption of ATM and IP technologies on the wireless link The adoption of ATM and IP technologies in the access and core networks, and the comparison of ATM-only architectures with emerging possibilities (Hybrid, IP-only…) The relationship between the physical layer and the ATM or IP layers The Guarantee of QoS in the wireless link The development of a network architecture that will best exploit technological advances (e.g. hybrid ATM/IP architectures) and fulfils PNOs needs. The study of what level of the system mobility is best handled given technology and business drives

MTM’99 Workshop Heidelberg, 25 February 1999 Specifically work needs to be done on: The use of software agents for Network Control Services management (VHE, dynamic resource allocation…) Location Servers Mobility management End user service provision Reference ( EURESCOM Project P810 “Wireless ATM access and Advanced software techniques for mobile networks architectures”: Deliverable 1: Service Requirements, state of the art and guidelines for the development of future radio and mobile networks
