An intelligent network (IN) is a concept characterized by the distribution of network intelligence and capabilities wherever required within a telecommunications network. It is considered as a platform de"ning an environment that is rich in network capabilities and service functionality. IN techniqu

β¦ Synopsis
The growing "elds of wireless networks and asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) are merging to form wireless ATM networks. This paper addresses dynamic bandwidth allocation, connection admission procedures, routing, and location management strategies in wireless ATM. More precisely, we investigate the issue of extending the private Network to Network Interface, PNNI, and protocols to support mobility. PNNI-based hierarchical routing, hand-o!, location management and routing schemes are proposed to integrate wireless capabilities into ATM networks. These schemes provide fast and e$cient hand-o! connection processing mechanism and a reduction in the connection disruption time during a connection hand-o! session. They also provide a predictable resource requirement of the mobile system during its connection. During a connection hand-o!, misrouted cells can be re-routed to their destinations. This substantially reduces the overhead due to end-to-end re-transmissions invoked at higher layers. An analytical model is developed to illustrate the hand-o! algorithm.

## An Effective Congestion Control Scheme for ATM Networks Congestion control is considered one of the most challenging issues of ATM. Simulation results are presented which show the performance superiority of the proposed scheme as compared to the conventional leaky bucket scheme.
Channel management schemes for wireless networks aim typically at minimizing the hand-o! failure probability of on-going calls at the risk of blocking new calls. In a dynamically changing environment, however, such a strategy may increase the likelihood of blocking new calls, unnecessarily. To provi
The task of supporting integrated multirate multimedia traffic in a bandwidth-poor wireless environment poses a significant challenge for network designers. In this paper we propose a novel bandwidth allocation strategy which partitions the available bandwidth amongst the different traffic classes i
