INTRODUCTION

In the future, existing fixed networks will be complemented by mobile networks
with similar numbers of users. These mobile users will have identical

telecommunications requiring high bit-rate channels. It will be necessary for
these fixed and mobile networks to interoperate in order to pass data, in real
time and at high speeds, between their users.

But how far must this interoperation be taken? How much integration of the fixed
and mobile network structures is needed? Here, a fixed network, B-ISDN, and a
mobile network, UMTS, under development at the same time, are examined to see
how well and closely they should work together in order to meet expected user
needs. Work already taking place on this is discussed.

BACKGROUND

The Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS), the third generation of
mobile networks, is......
