Since the Wibro service realize mobile network on the public, it has been considered that it is not enough to support real time service at vehicular speed. The standard Fast Mobile IPv6 Handover Protocol using HMIPv6 may guarantee seamless service as long as the Mobile Node moves in the same domain MAP however it does not regard fast handover over inter-MAP domain. Thus Macro Mobility Handover in HMIPv6 was proposed to reduce handover latency in inter-MAP domain. But it is still not enough to support real-time service. So we propose an Improved FHMIPv6 over 802.16e network to reduce the overall handover latency. We embedded Layer 3 handover messages of the FHMIPv6 into the Layer 2 handover messages. So the MN is able to $^-nish$ overall handover procedure earlier in our scheme. The numerical results show the performance of IFHMIPv6 has improved about 32% in comparison with FHMIPv6.

Mobile nodes in FHMIPv6 has both advantages of HMIPv6 protocol which reduces signaling delay time and resource consumption during a handover and fast handover algorithm which reduces packet loss. Fast handover algorithm can reduce packet loss by 'tunneling' method ; that transmits a packet from old access router to new access router in case of handover. However, the fast handover algorithm can cause a reordering problem in a receiver between packets tunneled from the previous access router and packets transmitted directly to the new access router, which could degrade the TCP performance due to congestion control. In this paper, we propose two algorithms to solve the reordering problem in fast handover. The first one uses a holding timer for tunneling, the other adds a new algorithm to routers that adopt snoop protocol. We compare the performance of the proposed reseuquencing algorithms with that of the existing FHMIPv6 protocol by simulation. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithms solve the reordering problems and enhance TCP performance by preventing TCP sender entering congestion control.

Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) enables a mobile node (MN) to maintain its connectivity with a correspondent node (CN) while changing its point of attachment. In MIPv6, packets sent from a CN to a MN during handover are lost. Several mechanisms including FMIPv6 and HMIPv6 have been proposed in order to minimize packet loss. However, such mechanisms still suffer from performance degradation due to not only packet loss but also out-of-sequence packets. In this paper, we propose I-FHMIPv6 to resolve packet loss as well as the out-of-sequence packet problem. In I-FHMIPv6, the flush message is newly defined in order to notify a home agent (HA) or CN of the fact that the binding cache entry of a MN is about to be updated. A MN receiving the flush message can know that there is no more packets transmitted via the previous route, which resolve the out-of-sequence packet problem. Moreover, with the proposed mechanism, we can minimize packet loss by integrating FMIPv6 and HMIPv6 efficiently. I-FHMIPv6 is evaluated by performing simulations, and the simulation results show that I-FHMIPv6 outperforms FMIPv6 and HMIPv6.

As the set of new mobile data networking service technologies, such as WiBro, mobile WiMAX and WCDMA-HSDPA, have been introduced in recent years, IP mobility management protocols which aim to provide seamless IP service over the mobile networking environment become one of the important building blocks for the successful mobile networks. IETF has introduced a basic mobility management protocol over IPv6 (MIPv6) and a set of enhanced protocols such as FMIPv6 and HMIPv6, followed by FHMIPv6, S-MIPv6 and HIMIPv6 which combine the benefits of the basic protocols. We have studied the impact of the various IP mobility management protocols over TCP sessions through extensive simulations with ns-2. Our simulation results show that TCP performance with the HIMIPv6 outperforms MIPv6, FMIPv6 and HMIPv6 over the various TCP protocols, due to its efficient combination of the hierarchical mobility management scheme of the HMIPv6, the predictive handover scheme of the FMIPv6 and the fast simulcasting scheme of the S-MIP.
