Abstract
Next-Generation Networks (NGNs) and Peer-to-Peer (P2P) are the two driving forces of Fixed-Mobile Convergence (FMC). The complementary nature of NGNs delivering controlled services and P2P with the intrinsic characteristics of overlay services, which does not require large-scale infrastructure investment, is important for cost-effective and rapid deployment of FMC. For the successful deployment of FMC, a coherent and universal approach toward QoS and mobility management is particularly important. In this paper, we propose QoS and mobility management mechanisms for various wireless networks, including 3G, 802.16 Mobile Multihop Relay (MMR), 802.11 mesh networks, and WiFi/WiMAX relay networks. We also discuss enhanced P2P mobility schemes for achieving session continuity and seamless handover.
