12 Integrated WLAN and Cellular Data Networks Integrated I t t d WLAN and Cellular l Data Networks A cellular data network can provide relatively low speed data service (up to 115.2Kbps with GPRS and 2Mbps with 3G system) over a large coverage area. On the other hand, WLAN provides high-speed data service (up to 11 Mbps with b and 54Mbps with a) over a geographically g small area. An integrated network combines these two kind of data networks. A kind of Heterogeneous Networks 12

13 Integration UMTS (or GPRS) vs. WLAN Coverage UMTS (several kilometers) > WLAN (several hundred meters) Data rate WLAN (up to 54Mbps) > UMTS (up to 2Mbps when static) > GPRS (up to 115.2K bps) There is a strong need for interworking mechanism between WLANs and cellular data networks We discuss integrated UMTS/WLAN heterogeneous networks 13

20 Interworking Architectures There needs an interworking mechanisms, which effectively combine WLANs and cellular data network into integrated wireless data environment capable of ubiquitous it data service and very high h data rates in hotspot locations The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) specifies two coupling mechanisms: A Tight Coupling Architecture A Loose Coupling Architecture Loose coupling: WLAN data traffic goes directly to the external packet data networks (PDN) Tight coupling: WLAN data traffic goes through GPRS core networks 20

21 Loose Coupling WLAN is deployed as an access network complementary to the GPRS network Standard IETF-based protocols for AAA and mobility (e.g. Mobile IP) Need a common billing system 21
