Abstract
In this paper, a novel architecture for interworking of the Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) and the Third Generation (3G) mobile cellular network is presented. This architecture is a hybrid model with additional controls compared with the existing architectures and the use of IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), as an arbitrator for coupling and real-time session management. Furthermore, a new networking entity called a mobility manager has been introduced within the IMS for seamless management of vertical handoffs. Efficient strategies for IP address distribution and bypassing high traffic loads form the cellular core network are other benefits of this architecture.
