Applying IP over wmATM technology to third generation wireless communications

With the rapid development of third-generation wireless mobile communication systems worldwide, the wireless mobile ATM enhanced software radio platform has taken the lead in the implementation process, which helps construct a broadband wireless pipe and "IP over wmATM" open signaling suite to support various common air interfaces for the wireless industry. This article presents the implementational issues using the IP over wmATM solution for 3G broadband wireless mobile communication systems. It includes the design of the wmATM medium access controller, protocol stack, wmATM module definition, and software radio platform, as well as IP unified 3G wireless networks.
