Abstract
There are two trends in the research to develop future networks. While the first aims to introduce new technologies such as the Long Term Evolution (LTE) and WiMAX with high-speed data. The second aimed at providing clients with a ubiquitous connectivity via proposing new communication architectures to integrate different networking technologies and enabling mobile devices to switch seamlessly between them. Examples of such architectures are Y-Comm, Mobile Ethernet and IEEE 802.21. In this paper we will show how these research trends could be integrated. This is achieved by discussing how future communication frameworks like Y-Comm could fulfil the requirements and provide the functionalities of newly introduced technologies such as UMTS and LTE networks.
