Abstract

This paper proposes a mobile SCTP (mSCTP) handover scheme for vertical handover between 3G wireless and WiBro networks. To evaluate the proposed mSCTP vertical handover scheme, we implement the mSCTP handover supporting system over Linux platform in which the movement of a mobile node is automatically detected and the mSCTP vertical handover is performed by the mobile node. We analyze and compare the performance of mSCTP handover and Mobile IP handover over the preconfigured testbed. From the numerical results, we can see that the handover latency of mSCTP could be much more reduced, compared to the Mobile IP handover, if the mobile node would sojourn long enough in the overlapping region between the two heterogeneous networks.

본 논문에서는 3G 이동통신망과 WiBro 망간 수직 핸드오버 지원을 위한 mobile SCTP (mSCTP) 핸드오버 기법 적용방안을 제안한다. 제안하는 이종망간 mSCTP 핸드오버 기법의 성능분석을 위해 이동 단말에서 mSCTP 핸드오버를 자동적으로 지원하는 시스템을 개발하였다. 리눅스 기반 테스트베드 실험을 통해 핸드오버 지연 관점에서 성능을 분석하고 실험결과를 Mobile IP 핸드오버 기법과 비교하였다. 실험결과, 이종망간 중첩영역에서 이동 단말의 체류시간이 충분히 클 때 mSCTP 핸드오버 지연시간이 상당히 감소될 수 있고, 또한 Mobile IP 보다 상대적으로 더 좋은 핸드오버 성능을 보여주고 있음을 알 수 있었다.
