In next-generation wireless networks, provisioning of IP-based network architecture and seamless transmission services are very important issues for mobile nodes. For this reason, a mobility management mechanism to support global roaming is highly regarded. These technologies bring a broader life by using a global roaming account through the connection of multiple devices or technology to mobile users; they also provide real-time multimedia services. This paper presents a comprehensive performance analysis of fast handover for hierarchical mobile IPv6 (F-HMIPv6), hierarchical mobile IPv6 (HMIPv6), Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6), and fast Proxy Mobile IPv6 (FPMIPv6) using the fluid-flow model and random-walk model. As a result, the location update cost of the PMIPv6 and FPMIPv6 is better than that of HMIPv6 and F-HMIPv6. These results suggest that the network-based mobility management technology is superior to the hierarchical mobility management technology in the mobility environment.

HMIPv6 improved the handover management of basic MIPv6 by introducing the new protocol agent MAP. In this new protocol, MAP instead of the Mobile Node intercepts all packets and redirects the packets to CoA of the Mobile Node. However, this process may degrade the network performance due to the centralization phenomenon of registration occurring in the hierarchical MAP structure. ffe propose two schemes to improve real time traffic performance. First proposal is a MAP selection mettled in which MAP is selected based on traffic characteristics. And we also propose differentiated traffic processing scheme with multi-level queues when Home Agent or Correspondent Nodes process Binding Update messages. Performances of the proposed scheme are analyzed. Analysis result shows that our model has good performance in the respect of location update cost and total cost of Mobile Nodes.

WMN is highlighted as a next generation network technology due to relatively reasonable cost to be built, compared with the pre-existing wireless network. It also enables same kind of network or even other kind of network to be integrated. Some WMN researches support mobility using router protocol such as AODV and DSR because WMN has the similar features with Ad-hoc network in terms of operation. However, WMN has got different operations with additional functions of multi-interface and internet connect, it can't be a good method to manage efficient mobility any more. This study suggests method to apply MAP function of HMIPv6 to WMN as a way to manage WMN mobility. Through simulation, operation was verified and function was appreciated. Through the results of evaluation, the suggest mobility management had shorter handover delay and packet loss reduced, which improved whole network throughput rate, compared with mobility management using AODV.

Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) is a network-based mobility support protocol and it does not require Mobile Nodes (MNs) to be involved in the mobility support signaling. In the case when multiple interfaces are active in an MN simultaneously, each data flow can be dynamically allocated to and redirected between different access networks to adapt to the dynamically changing network status and to balance the workload. Such a flow redistribution control is called "flow mobility". In the existing PMIPv6-based flow mobility support, although the MN's logical interface can solve the well-known problems of flow mobility in a heterogeneous network, some missing procedures, such as an MN-derived flow handover, make PMIPv6-based flow mobility incomplete. In this paper, an enhanced flow mobility support is proposed for actualizing the flow mobility support in PMIPv6. The proposed scheme is also based on the MN's logical interface, which hides the physical interfaces from the network layer and above. As new functional modules, the flow interface manager is placed at the MN's logical interface and the flow binding manager in the Local Mobility Anchor (LMA) is paired with the MN's flow interface manager. They manage the flow bindings, and select the proper access technology to send packets. In this paper, we provide the complete flow mobility procedures which begin with the following three different triggering cases: the MN's new connection/disconnection, the LMA's decision, and the MN's request. Simulation using the ns-3 network simulator is performed to verify the proposed procedures and we show the network throughput variation caused by the network offload using the proposed procedures.

Recently, due to a explosive growth in the mobile Internet traffic, the problem of excessive data traffic handling on core network and thus scalability problem have been magnified in 3GPP LTE/SAE networks. Current LTE/SAE network based on the central P-GW (PDN Gateway) used as mobility anchor cannot deal with such demand for exponentially increasing mobile Internet traffic. In this paper, we propose a new LTE/SAE network architecture supporting distributed P-GWs and corresponding distributed mobility management to solve these problems. For this, in addition to the deployment of such distributed P-GWs, we propose a dynamic and distributed mobility management by distributing MMEs (Mobility Management Entities) which dynamically manages the location information of a UE's PDN connection, and also propose a handover procedure of such PDN connections by using the proposed distributed P-GWs and MMEs. The performance of the proposed dynamic and distributed LTE/SAE network system is compared with the current LTE/SAE network system in terms of handover latency and network throughput.

Predictive channel reservation techniques have widely been studied in mobile cellular networks in order to meet the desired quality-of-service requirements. Those efforts are mostly concentrated on predicting the target cell that a mobile will move to and reserving the channel before the actual handoff, and subsequently reducing handoff-dropping probability and improving bandwidth utilization. In this paper, we propose adaptive reporting schemes that a mobile reports its mobility status information such as position, speed, and direction in an appropriate moment based on the user's mobility pattern characteristics and, hence the network can make a more-accurate prediction on the user's mobility. We show from the simulations that the proposed scheme is capable of keeping target cell prediction more accurate and required number of reporting through the wireless up-link channel lower.

With the development of wireless network technologies, mobile users may use various networks easily and expect more advanced services. On the other hand, it may bring on some problems with network resource management that should lead the service provider to improve the current service quality and manage the network resource efficiently. This paper proposes the optimized radio resource management (RRM) scheme that integrates the Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) and game theory. The first applies the GRA to determine the Grey Relation Coefficient (GRC) factors that represent the network preference, and the network provider then selects the requested service that provide maximum payoff through Nash Equilibrium. Six requested services that have one application service among four different types of service classes were considered and the game was played repeatedly. In WiMAX, WLAN 1 and WLAN 2 game, the maximum payoff of each players was 93, 90.6 and 92.8 respectively. The experimental results show that every requested service can be selected by the network provider. Consequently, the proposed radio resource management mechanism is more effective in heterogeneous wireless networks.

Ultra wide band (UWB) technology will be applied in the high rare wireless personal area networks (WPANs) for its high rate, low power, and innate immunity to multipath fading. In this paper, a power aware multi-hop packet relay MAC protocol in UWB based WPANs is proposed and a power aware path status factor (PAPSF), which is derived from SINR and power resource condition of each device, is used to select a suitable relay node. Compared with relaying by piconet coordinator (PNC), which is easily chosen by other ad hoc routing protocol, the new scheme can achieve hi임or throughput, decrease the time required for transmitting high power signal and we can easily distribute the battery power consumption from PNC to other devices in the piconet to prevent the PNC device using up its battery too fast and finally avoid PNC handover too frequently.

Next-generation wireless/mobile networks are envisioned to have an IP-based infrastructure. One of the research challenges for next-generation all IP-based networks is the design of intelligent mobility management technologies that have a seamless mobility and minimal signaling overhead. Recently, HMIPv6 was proposed by the IETF for efficient mobility management. HMIPv6 reduces the amount of signaling and improves the performance of MIPv6 in terms of handover latency. However the MAP can be a single point of performance bottleneck when there are a lot of local movements. HMIPv6 can cause signaling overhead due to the unnecessary location update of idle mobile nodes. Therefore, in this paper, we propose the dynamic paging Mobile IPv6 that reduces the signaling cost of the unnecessary location updates using IP paging and organizes dynamically optimal MAP area according to user's mobility and traffic. We show performance results that are obtained from the average total location update cost and packet delivery cost.

OFDM(A) 기반 네트워크는 IEEE 802.16e 시스템 및 WiBro 시스템 등으로 구현되고 있으며, 4G 시스템과 같은 차세대 이동통신 시스템의 기반 기술로서 많이 연구되고 있는 시스템이다. 이와 같은 OFDM(A) 시스템을 기반으로 IP 네트워크를 구축하게 된다면, 단말의 핸드오버를 지원하기 위하여 MAC 및 IP 계층에서의 핸드오버 기법에 대한 정의가 필요하다. IP 네트워크의 가장 큰 특징은 CDMA와 같은 서킷 네트워크가 아니라 패킷 네트워크라는 것이다. 이러한 패킷기반 네트워크에서의 소프트 핸드오버 기법은 CDMA 네트워크에서 제공되고 있는 소프트 핸드오버 기법을 그대로 적용할 수 없다. CDMA 소프트 핸드오버 기법은 물리계층에서의 신호 결합을 수행하게 되는데 패킷 네트워크에서 두 기지국으로부터 전송되는 패킷은 MAC 및 IP 헤더를 가지게 되고, 헤더에 포함되는 정보는 각 기지국에서 서로 다르게 전송하므로 물리계층에서의 신호 결합을 수행할 수가 없다. 본 논문에서는 기존에 제안된 소프트 핸드오버 기법의 단점을 보완하고 IP 기반 네트워크에 적용 가능한 소프트 핸드오버 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 소프트 핸드오버 기법은 패킷 네트워크의 특성을 반영하여 소프트 핸드오버에 참여하는 기지국이 서로 다른 패킷을 전송하도록 디자인하였고, 에러 발생률을 낮추기 위하여 AMC (Adaptive Modulation and Coding) 기법을 적용하였다. 또한 OFDM(A) 시스템의 multi-carrier 특성을 이용하여 네트워크 자원을 효율적으로 사용함으로써 네트워크의 전체적인 성능 향상이 가능하도록 개발되었다.
