Abstract The development trend 111 telecommunications is driven by user service requirements asking for access to a diversified range of personalized set of services to anyone, anywhere, and anytime. Borders between telecommunications, information technology and entertainment services are disappearing. In second generation mobile systems, operators are offering voice services to their mobile subscribers as well as simple data services as short message service (SMS). However, mobile users are no more satisfied with these services. Mobile users want to make voice calls, send and receive e-mail, surf the internet, download files, and even make video conferences at high rates. All these users demands, can be satisfied by a new generation of mobile systems, third generation, which can give the user access to the network via channels supporting high rates, and that can support both voice and data traffic . In this thesis, a new core network for third generation mobile systems is proposed. The network will be called Public IP Mobile Network (PIMN). The architecture of the network is hierarchical consisting of three layers. The network is packet switched. Its entities used are IP switches and supports both voice and data traffic. IP switches are devices capable of routing packets like routers but at higher rates. Routing in IP switches is done by hardware ASICS and not by software as in routers. The network protocol used is the Internet Protocol (IP). IP is deployed successfully in the Internet and supports a wide variety of applications. In this thesis, a new dynamic IF addressing scheme is proposed. It solves the problem of having a number of IP addresses less the number of subscribers. The IP switches are placed in three layers. The first layer, closest to the users, is the Local IP switches. It represents the cells. The second |
