Research Challenges in Wireless Overlay

This document discusses research challenges in wireless overlay networks. A wireless overlay network is a virtual network built on top of an existing network to implement a service not available in the existing network, such as routing, security, addressing, multicasting, and mobility. Major challenges include seamless vertical handoffs between heterogeneous wireless and wired networks with different characteristics like bandwidth, data rate, frequency of operation, and quality of service. Techniques proposed to improve wireless network performance during handoffs include packet multicasting to avoid packet loss, dwell timers to avoid ping-pong effects, and waiting until the mobile terminal becomes stable to determine the right time for handoff. Wireless overlay networks will allow mobile terminals to use appropriate networks at appropriate times to maximize user satisfaction
