Abstract In telecommunication systems‚ a generic access network (GAN) is used by cellular device users to connect and interact with other types of communication devices. GAN protocols primarily evolved for wireless communication systems‚ allowing mobile phones to perform functions seamlessly between wireless local area networks (WLANs) and wide area networks (WANs) without interrupting the communication session. Modern GAN technology permits a subscriber to interact via voice‚ data‚ IP multimedia
