Abstract

The tremendous momentum toward building a mobile wireless Internet using the Internet Protocol (IP) has thrust many challenges upon the technology developers and the operators. These challenges encompass the 2.5G, 3G, and future solutions and standards. Some of the key issues deal with supporting IP traffic across different wireless and MAC protocols, end-to-end QoS and mobility, traffic engineering and scalability, protection/restoration, operations and management, authentication/privacy/security, billing, and content and context aware networking. This article addresses the drivers, the issues, and solutions (wherever possible) in the above areas, and concludes with a summarization of the challenges that lie ahead.
