Today wireless data services are provided over different technologies like Wireless MAN (WMAN also known as Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access - WiMAX), Wireless LAN (WLAN generally known as Wi-Fi), UMTS (also known as 3G), etc. WiFi & WiMAX provides higher data rates over smaller area where as 3G provides smaller data rates over wider...

... to the FS [4,7,8]. Figure 3 shows the simplified protocol architecture in which both the MC and FS implement mSCTP. The MC supports both WLAN and UMTS at the data link and physical layers. ...

... is no additional protocol requirement for other network nodes. The FS in Figure 3 can also be a proxy server that provides mSCTP associations with MCs over UMTS/WLAN while connecting to other FSs through TCP [4,7,8]. ...
