| TUTORIAL 1 |
This tutorial will cover system-level architectures for mobile/wireless ATM with necessary radio protocols for wireless ATM access and networking protocols to support mobility management. Standardization activity within the ATM Forum's WATM group will be presented along with implementation experience from research prototypes of mobile and wireless ATM. This tutorial will not only benefit researchers, professors, students, but also consultants, network engineers and managers who wish to acquire the knowledge and practical know-how on Wireless ATM.

Topics that will be covered include Agent Advertisements, registration procedures, tunneling mechanisms, the role of security, and home agents and foreign agents. We will also cover how to set up a home network, getting care-of addresses via DHCP, Route Optimization, smooth handoffs, IPv6 mobility support, and the Service Location Protocol. In addition, we will look at an architectural model for supporting nomadic users under development within the Cross-Industry Working Team (XIWT) in the "Nomadicity" group.

A number of approaches to reducing the simulation time for such models will be presented including parallel simulation, hierarchical modeling, and multi-paradigm models. The tutorial will begin with an overview of existing simulators, including OPNET, Bones, and other commercial products. The primary emphasis of the tutorial is on presenting the use of Maisie for parallel simulation of network models and their subsequent porting into physical implementation. The sources of overhead in the parallel execution of network models will be discussed together with methods to reduce their impact. Common pitfalls encountered in the design of parallel simulation models will be discussed. We will also describe techniques to port simulation models to protocol implementations. Finally, a number of case studies will be presented to highlight the lessons that have been learned in the design, simulation, and implementation of wireless network protocols.
