Abstract
WPANs (Wireless personal area networks) vary greatly by nature with regard to requirements such as data rate, coverage, subscriber volume, and supported mobile velocity. Mobile devices with multiple network interfaces are very common and to make these multi-mode devices communicate with any WPAN device at anytime, anywhere, a framework for heterogeneous wireless networks is essential. Therefore, we propose an integration framework that handle heterogeneous WPAN protocols simultaneously in a unified ways. In this paper, we explain the requirements and detailed design of our framework, and then present the emulation test results.
