Tutorial Title:Meeting IP Services within 3G and beyond Wireless Networks
Instructor:Prof. Abbas Jamalipour
Affiliation:University of Sydney, Australia

Tutorial Outline

This tutorial provides audiences with the state-of-the art information on the third generation wireless networks and beyond including the trends in new era of wireless telecommunications, standardization activities, global network harmonization, and IP core network. The tutorial will discuss the importance of the traffic management, mobility and location management, protocol enhancement for interworking of heterogeneous wired and wireless networks, and the quality of service in future generations of wireless networks. The tutorial covers also the role of satellites in providing global inter-network capability and the wireless ATM toward future wireless networks.

ATM is the promising technology for supporting high-speed data transfer potentially suitable for all varieties of private and public telecommunications networks. IP, on the other hand, is the fast-growing network layer protocol that is applicable over any data link layer. Internet-based applications are the emerging source of traffic in the future wireless networks and broadband wireless networks should consider the Internet as the primary service. This tutorial explains current and future mobile and wireless Internet technologies, and directs up-to-date trends of these two leading technologies into next generation wireless networks such as UMTS, wideband CDMA, and beyond. The tutorial gives audiences all knowledge they need to start and/or continue research and development projects and to plan for wired and wireless networking. The tutorial will give an answer to the network designers in selection between IP and ATM and how cellular networks transmit the IP datagr ams over their backbone infrastructure.

About the instructor:

Abbas Jamalipour is with the School of Electrical and Information Engineering at the University of Sydney, Australia, where he is responsible for teaching and research in data communication networks and satellite systems and also he is doing consultations for major telecommunications companies in Australia and other countries in the area of next generation wireless networks and IP networks. He received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Nagoya University, Japan, in 1996. He was an Assistant Professor at Nagoya University before moving to Sydney. His current areas of research include data communication and ATM networks, mobile and wireless IP networks, mobile and satellite wireless communications, traffic and congestion control, switching systems, and switch design. He is the author of the first technical book on LEO satellites, entitled Low Earth Orbital Satellites for Personal Communication Networks published by Artech House, Norwood, MA, 1998. He has served as the Registration Chair at the 1998 IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference (GLOBECOM ・8) held in Sydney and he is an organizing committee member of the joint IEEE NSW Communications and Signal Processing chapter. Dr. Jamalipour is a Senior Member of IEEE, and a member of IEEE Communications Society technical committees on Satellite and Space Communications, Personal Communications, and Communications Switching. He is also a member of International Union of Radio Science (URSI), the IEICE and SITA of Japan, and the Australasian Association for Engineering Education (AAEE). He is the recipient of a number of technology and paper awards and the author for many papers in IEEE and IEICE Transactions and Journals as well as in international conferences. He is the Secretary to the Satellite and Space Communication Technical Committee of the IEEE ComSoc and the guest editor for the two upcoming issues on 4G networks in IEEE magazines. He is the symposium organ izer for the IEEE Globecom2001 to be held in San Antonio, TX, Symposium on Future Satellite Communications for Global IP and ATM Networking.
