  Abstract

Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) have been developed independently. Then, many researchers have studied UMTS-WLAN interworking architecture for the efficiency. However, the transmission capacity difference of two networks causes the transmission quality degradation. Therefore, this paper proposes a UMTS-WLAN interworking architecture for Quality of Service (QoS). The proposed architecture is based on tight coupling and dynamically guarantees QoS by the mobility prediction method. The proposed architecture is simulated by ns-2. Performance experimental results show that the proposed architecture reduces the handover dropping probability comparing with the existing method and enhances the amount of receiving packets comparing with the method without guaranteeing QoS.
