ABSTRACT
A standard Mobile IP can not be directly used with multihomed mobile stations. Accordingly, this paper presents an immediate solution to integrate UMTS and WLAN systems based on a loose coupling interworking architecture. This interworking scheme resolves the problems with dual-interfaced nodes through only configuring the Mobile IP on the WLAN foreign network. In addition, the proposed scheme uses simple filter mechanisms to realize the benefits of a multihomed configuration. The proposed loose-coupling interworking architecture and design principles are validated using the OPNET simulator.

Global gateway-based UMTS/WLAN integration for improved delay performance
Network and parallel computingThis paper proposes a loose coupling-based integration between universal mobile telecommunication system (UMTS) and wireless local area networks (WLANs) using mobile Internet protocol (MIP)-based vertical handoff between the two networks. In loose ...
Interworking of WLAN-UMTS networks: an IMS-based platform for session mobility
In this article a framework for interworking between a WLAN and the UMTS is presented. The uniqueness of this architecture is that the IP multimedia subsystem proposed by the 3GPP has been used as an arbitrator for network coupling and real-time session ...
A Proactive mobile-initiated fast handoff scheme using the multihomed approach
Mobile IP (MIP) defines a mobility management for mobile users to continuously access data when the currently attachment is changed to another network. However, when mobile node (MN) roams between network segments, the handoff latency results in packet ...
