<p style="text-align: left;">InterDigital&rsquo;s John Cartmell presents paper on future network architectures involving converged Wi-Fi/femtocell deployments at LISAT2012, the annual conference of the Long Island section of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).</p>
<p>The converged gateway features &ldquo;local IP flow mobility&rdquo;, a function that selectively offloads certain traffic to specific Wi-Fi-enabled end-users, resulting in an increase in capacity of the area serviced by a femtocell.&nbsp; Operators and network infrastructure providers are working to deliver more capacity and improved user experience by aggregating networks and pushing traffic to the edge of the network, and our proposal highlights a simple and effective way of achieving this while mitigating technology and deployment issues.&nbsp; Read more about InterDigital's<a href="http://www.interdigital.com/invent/smart-connections" target="_blank"> Smart Connections</a> technologies.</p>
