The mobile host connects via a cell

The mobile host connects via a cell with the base station.There are many base stations under the control of the supervisor host, which serves as a gateway to communicate with the wired medium. The developer of this approach had two specific aims. The first was that base station functionality could be transferred to the supervisor host, thus reducing network costs, as one supervisor host would be in control of the many base stations. The second was the possibility of significantly reduced handovers occurrences, as the mobile host roaming between cells would not need to execute handovers when the two cells were controlled by the one supervisor host.
