The authors propose a system architecture for delivery of PISA based on distributed servers, and discuss the connection-oriented support services it may require from the PCS network. In this architecture real mobility on the part of the user may result in virtual mobility of the server, which the authors propose be handled by a service handoff procedure broadly analogous to a PCS call handoff. They describe components of the service handoff procedure and the PCS network support they entail. They also discuss how users' service profiles can be maintained in this architecture.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":185113,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Networks for Personal Communications - NPC'94","volume":"141 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124684428","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The two layer resource model focuses on the use of element managers to shorten time to market intervals, shield the operations support mechanisms from network complexity, provide data stewards to improve data accuracy, and to improve software update coordination to network elements. This approach does not eliminate the need for the service management layer as a critical portion of the architecture, instead this approach moves the service management functions outside of the area associated with network management.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":185113,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Networks for Personal Communications - NPC'94","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122766629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It employs pre-arbitrated (PA) isochronous access with silence detection for voice transport, and high priority queue-arbitrated (QA) packet access for signaling. Efficient and reliable signaling procedures are required for call control. Particularly for call setups and handoffs. These procedures are presented and analyzed in this paper, along with the supporting system architecture. Simulation results show that the network capacity is constrained by the call setup delay performance. Alternative signaling system architectures, involving different placements of call control network elements, are evaluated. The overlap inter-MAN call setup procedure is proposed to reduce delays. Different call handoff procedures are formulated according to the type of handoff and the resulting change in call connectivity. Most handoffs are intra-MAN, requiring simple procedures with short delays.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":185113,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Networks for Personal Communications - NPC'94","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121195854","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
