SPRINGERBRIEFS IN COMPUTER SCIENCE INTERWORKI...

The next-generation of wireless communications are envisioned to be supported by heterogeneous
networks by using various wireless access technologies. The popular cellular networks and
wireless local area networks (WLANs) present perfectly complementary characteristics in terms
of service capacity  mobility support  and quality-of-service (QoS) provisioning. The cellular
WLAN interworking is an effective way to promote the evolution of wireless networks.
Interworking of Wireless LANs and Cellular Networks focuses on three aspects  namely access
selection  call admission control and load sharing to investigate heterogeneous interworking
for cellular WLAN integrated networks. It not only reveals important observations but also
offers useful tools for performance evaluation. The unique traffic and network characteristics
are exploited to enhance interworking effectiveness. Theoretical analysis and simulation
validation demonstrate benefits of cellular WLAN interworking in real networks. Last but not
the least  this brief highlights promising future research directions to guide interested
readers.
