ABSTRACT:
A handoff control process in a wireless ATM network replaces an old communications connection with a new communication connection. In order to guarantee that no data is lost during the replacement process, an ATM cell level mechanism is used to re-schedule the buffering and transmitting of data streams of the virtual channels (VCs) to be handed-off. In addition, this mechanism is transparent to user applications. The present invention performs three fundamental cell level scheduling functions. The first function is to mark and redirect cell transmission with operation and maintenance (OAM) cells. The second function is to disable and buffer cell transmission until the new path is connected. The third function is to enable cell transmission, starting with the buffered cells across the connected new path.
