Abstract The last decade was dominated by the development of new radio access technologies. The development has been driven by the great success of the second generation mobile communication. Although the third generation (3G) mobile system will start soon, many existing and emerging access technologies will coexist for a long time. Network operators are now very interested in merging the various access technologies to provide an ubiquitous wireless access system. This paper presents a simulation tool to investigate and plan the next generation mobile internet architecture deploying WLAN and GPRS/UMTS technologies. A simulation tool with the hybrid system of IEEE 802.11a and GPRS is developed using prototypical protocol implementations based on a Specification and Description Language (SDL) specification. Traffic performance is evaluated in detail by means of stochastical simulations. The impact of the vertical handover on the system performance can be seen from the simulation results.
