A simulation based evaluation on the performance of integrated 3G wireless LAN network

New generation of mobile communication systems will focus on seamlessly integrating existing wireless technologies including 3G cellular systems, wireless LAN and Bluetooth to create a wide coverage, improved capacity and enhanced QoS heterogeneous wireless communication system. It is envisaged that the next generation of wireless communication systems will support comprehensive and personalized services, providing stable system performance and quality of service. In this paper we investigate and analyse the performance of a wireless communication system which consists of an integrated cellular communication system and a wireless LAN radio access networks inorder to determine an optimum combination of radio access technologies in a coverage area for efficient handling of mixed traffic requests from mobile users.
