Abstract
There are many incompatible wireless systems which are designed to be optimized for different purposes. It is expected that various wireless systems will coexist in the near future. How to integrate them, thus, has become an important issue. We have proposed Reconfigurable Architecture and Mobility Platform (RAMP) to integrate various wireless systems. RAMP primarily considers the integration of mobility management in core networks. RAMP could accommodate, control, and coordinate various types of mobility management protocols. Because of reconfigurability, different network operators could choose different protocols dynamically. Terminals could also execute different protocols dynamically. We have implemented RAMP. In addition, a testbed has been constructed. Empirical experiments were conducted to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed idea. This thesis presents the design and implementation of RAMP.
