Abstract

Increased use of PDA and Laptop has accelerated the development of wireless networking. With the tendency the need to support efficient and seamless data transmission technique has also been increased. However current mobility management protocol, such as the Mobile If, which is defined in RFC 2002, does not cover well these requirements. To satisfy these requirements, we should reduce Handoff processing time occurred by the movement of MN (Mobile Node) about the other networks. This paper proposes efficient Handoff mechanism on the new Mobile IP architecture using the Extended Macro that is a group organized with subnetworks, and sewed by a new added agent.
