In this article, we discuss how a wireless asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network may reroute a user connection during a handoff. The authors propose a novel procedure called "Nearest Common Node Rerouting (NCNR)." NCNR is designed to perform the rerouting of user connections due to a handoff event in a fast and efficient manner. The authors conclude by comparing NCNR to other rerouting schemes discussed in the literature.EnglishRadio interferenceRadio linksRadio receiversNearest common node rerouting (NCNR)Wireless asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networkAsynchronous transfer modeArticle10.1109/98.542235
