Abstract

Integration of 3G and wireless LAN (WLAN) becomes a trend in current and future wireless networks, and brings many benefits to both end users and service providers. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive survey on integration of 3G and WLAN. We discuss issues such as underline network architectures, integrated architectures, mobility management, and quality of service (QoS). We particularly study handoff QoS mapping and guarantee between 3G and WLAN, as well as how seamless voice/multimedia/data handoff becomes possible.
