ITS technologies are in the research and development around the world as a solution for maximizing the efficiency of the existing road infrastructure, solving the complex traffic problems and providing the convenient driving services. The core of these ITS technologies is to provide the information for the requesting users in fast and accurate way from the server. In real driving conditions, there are many communication barriers around the vehicles and the base stations so that an accurate and robust handover technology is needed in order to ensure seamless ITS services. This paper introduced an WAVE handover algorithm implemented in a real communication device and five parameters mainly affecting the handover performance are evaluated. The handover performance is measured by changing the parameter values at a highway testbed. The test results show that the handover algorithm parameter values should be configured carefully to remove the handover ping-pong problems.

Portable Internet extended from wireless LAN has a large cell size, similar to a wireless mobile communication. and can provide the seamless service which offers middle-low speed mobility. IEEE 802.16e, the international standard of Portable Internet, uses PKMv2 protocol for authorization and key exchange between a MSS and a BS. This paper proposes a new protocol based on PKMv2, which can provide that MSS is able to do fast authorization with a new BS when soft handover is occurred in a MSS. Our protocol can carry out fast authorization because of reducing the number of messages and parameter exchange, public key encryption and signature in wireless network more than the previous works. It also prevents eavesdropping from an external attacker and keeps the security against impersonation attacks for both a MSS and a BS.

In this paper we report the development of mobility test bed, the realization of basic protocol that supports L3 mobility and the measurement of performance parameters that can affect handover performance. Previously proposed mobility management system, BBM (Break Before Make) method such as MIPV6 and Fast MIPV6, uses one interface in wireless network. In this method, to connect to new AP, it first disconnects existing AP and tries to connect to new AP. This can cause packet loss for the traffic vulnerable to delay such as VoIP. To provide seamless handover between different wireless networks, we propose MBB (Make Before Break) handover method having two network interfaces. Comparative study of previous method and proposed method on mobility and handover was conducted under simulated real environment on the test bed. Almost no packet loss was found with newly proposed method. In conclusion, it is shown that mobility protocol with proposed handover method can be applied to the application services sensitive to delay and packet loss.

Mobile WiMAX is an emerging technology that can provide ubiquitous Internet access. To provide seamless service in mobile WiMAX environment, delay or disruption in dealing with mobility must be minimized. However offering seamless services on IEEE 802.16e networks is very hard due to long handover latency both in layer 2 and 3. In this paper, we propose a fast cross-layer handover scheme based on prediction algorithm. With the help of the prediction, layer-3 handover activities are able to occur prior to layer-2 handover, and therefore, total handover latency can be reduced. The experiments conducted with system parameters and propagation model defined by WiMAX Forum demonstrate that the proposed method predicts the future signal level accurately and reduces the total handover latency.

In this paper, we consider a cell management and handover method in an IEEES02.16e based femto-cell systems. In a femto-cell system, Mobile Stations (MS) and Base Stations (BS) are temporarily overloaded during the process of MOB_NBR-ADV message because it includes huge information of macro-cell and a large number of femto-cells. Also, MS can be handover into another cell frequently, i.e. ping-pong phenomenon, if it is located in a overlapped cell area. In a femtocell system, so-called ping-pong phenomenon will burden the network opreation. In this paper, we propose construction of MOB_NBR-ADV message and it provides fast scanning and efficent handover by means of preselecting the candidate target femto-cells. Also, an adaptive method of hysteresis margin for handover is proposed. The simulation results show that the proposed schemes improve the MS's handover-related performance in terms of scanning power and scanning time compared with the conventional managements scheme of femto-cell systems.

As the recent development of mobile technology, users want to multi-service in anytime, anywhere, any terminal. To meet the needs of users, it causes a lot of expense that redesign of the entire network or expand the network of services areas. Therefore, IEEE, IETF is offering Handover technology between heterogeneous network. In this paper, the IEEE 802.21 MIH information server is based on the network. It proposes an improved handover that L3 layer to optimize the handover process use of FMIPv6 and executes simulation.

Received signal strength indicator (RSSI) represents the strength of the received signal at the front end of analog-to-digital convertor (ADC) input. RSSI value can be used for deciding the status of channel at the receiver. In this paper, the usage of RSSI in handover is studied using the practical measurement data. We first measure RSSI in 5.9GHz frequency band which is commonly used in wireless access in vehicular environments (WAVE) system. i.e., vehicular communications. Then, to implement a fast handover, the usability of RSSI data is analyzed based on the measured data. We also apply handover in practical highway environments.

This paper proposes a secure and efficient handover authentication protocol in VANET supporting fast mobility. Although the existing schemes commonly use the hash function or XOR operation to be suitable for a light-weight mobile, it does not support the security feature such as PBS. To solve this security problem, another protocol utilizing the CGA technology is proposed but it is vulnerable to the DoS attack due to a number of exponent operations. The proposed protocol using a light-weight Diffie-Hellman provides security features and performs a reduced number of exponential operation at the MN than the existing scheme.

IETF has proposed Fast Handovers for Mobile IPv6 (FMIPv6) for efficient mobility management, FMIPv6 has no solutions to protect binding updates. Previous researches have mainly concentrated on using AAA, public cerificates or cryptographic algorithms to secure binding updates. However the approaches need a particular infrastructure or a heavy processing cost to setup secure associations for handovers. Proposed scheem provides authentication for FMIPv6 without infrasturcture and costly cryptographic algorithms by extending Return Routability Protocol. Also proposed scheme is oble to be used for various existing handover mechanisms in IPv6 network.
