Wireless ATM: A Technological Framework to m-banking

Mobile and Wireless communication devices are becoming enablers for organizations to conduct business more effectively and efficiently. One of the most effective applications is mobile banking (m-banking). For any application to gain recognition technological advancements play a vital role. To make m-banking application a success bandwidth management is an important issue. The increased flexibility and mobility feature of wireless ATM and its bandwidth on demand function is motivating a large number of carriers towards deployment of the WATM networks. But there are certain issues which are required to be addressed in WATM. The issues are cost effective planning of network, location management and handover management. In this paper we have suggested and evaluated a technological framework for the m-banking application using wireless ATM which optimizes the bandwidth usage and provides an effective handover management. Simulation results show that the resultant framework is very effective in handling the bandwidth and the handover issue in wireless ATM and provides an effective WATM framework model.
