In this paper, we studied channel assignment and handover schemes for the indoor microcell systems. For efficient frequency spectrum reuse we proposed the high quality reassignment (HQR) scheme. Proposed HQR scheme tries to keep the reuse distances small by monitoring C/I of channels being used. To assign a channel for a new or handove call, the scheme checks C/I of all available channels. Then HQR assigns the channel that has C/I near the threshold value, A_TH. The scheme also checks C/I of ongoing calls and continuously reassigns a new channel when needed. It attempts handover not only when C/I gets below a handover threshold value, HO_TH, but also when C/I becomes above a high quality reassignment threshold, H_TH. The performance of the proposed HQR scheme was analyzed by a computer simulation configuraed. The performance of the scheme was also analyzed for various threshold values selected and the results are presented in this paper. The results show that HQR scheme perfomrs better than the scheme adopted for DECT.

PMIPv6 is a network-based mobility support scheme, proposed and standardized by NetLMM WG of IETF. It is proposed to solve problems of conventional mobility schemes, and to improve inefficiency of those. The standard document describes network components and detailed procedures to provide mobility to MN. But it describes only a handover procedure between MAGs, not between LMAs. In order to support seamless connectivity of MN efficiently, a handover procedure between LMAs is necessary. The proposed scheme in this paper utilizes a route optimization procedure to prevent inefficiency of inter-LMA tunneling scheme. At the same time, the proposed scheme utilizes a pre-authentication scheme to reduce handover latency. According to the result of performance evaluations, the proposed scheme greatly reduces handover latency, compared to conventional mobility support schemes.

Since the use of wireless communication instruments was standardized, users expect to be provided with seamless information whenever and wherever they use the instruments. Also, some technology is required to satisfy the users' needs which will cover their mobility. To support the mobility of host, the Internet Engineering Task Force (lETF) Mobile IP Working Group proposed a protocol called MIPv6 (Mobile IPv6). But in the case of the existing MIPv6, sometimes Mobile Node cannot receive data packet if Handover occurs although it is a temporal phenomenon. For solving these Handover problems, there are many methods like FMIPv6 (Fast Handover for Mobile IPv6) and HMIPv6 (Hierarchical Mobile IPv6) have been suggested. This paper suggested the use of Dual Buffer of Access Point and an effective way of registration as a way of reducing delayed time caused by Handover. Also, it analyzed and compare the existing MIPv6 with a proposed scheme concerning delayed time of Handover. Finally, the main objective of this paper is to proposed scheme that can reduce the delayed time of Handover compare to the existing MIPv6.

For vertical handover, the part for the homogeneous handover needs to be modified, which allows users to utilize the various wireless access schemes with a mobile terminal with PFMIPv6. In this paper, we considered a cross-layer design for fast vertical handover between MIH and PFMIPv6, where two MIH-layer messages are suggested to reduce handover latency and integrate between MIH and PFMIPv6 efficiently. The proposed scheme is evaluated with handover latency. The results show that the proposed handover procedure reduces handover latency compared with the existing one.

The IEEE WAVE standard specification does not support handover operation since it is designed to transmit mainly the ITS-related messages that are limited in length. More advanced multimedia applications such as Internet browsing and streaming of video clips produced by CCTVs, however, require handover support such that a sequence of data packets can be received seamlessly while an OBU's association with the RSUs changes. This paper presents a new handover scheme that can operate without performance degradation in the cases where there are multiple RSUs in the areas of handover by making use of the IEEE 802.11f IAPP Move-notify messages, based on the fast handover scheme with proactive caching by disassociation messages introduced previously. Experimental results from the simulation shows that the proposed handover scheme outperforms the scheme based solely on multicast.

Due to the spread of mobile devices and the introduction of high-quality services, mobile traffic is expected to increase sharply and overload of cellular networks is expected. D2D communication is a way to reduce the load and evolve to 5th generation. Since D2D communication directly communicates between the terminals, it can reduce the overload of the cellular network and improve energy efficiency, data rate and network performance. This paper proposes a D2D handover scheme for D2D communication in cellular networks. The cellular network is a 3GPP EPS, and the proposed D2D handover method improves the existing EPS handover process considering compatibility between existing EPS and D2D communication. We also demonstrate the superiority of the proposed handover scheme using the network simulator ns-3. Simulation results show that the proposed handover scheme is superior to existing handover methods in terms of CUE variation, packet transmission delay time, and throughput.

Recently, most mobile nodes, such as smartphones, will have multiple wireless radio interfaces. This feature allows a mobile node to access a multi-network through multiple wireless radio interfaces simultaneously. Accordingly, various networking technology has been studied to use wireless multi-interface more efficiently. In this paper, MPTCP based handover scheme is proposed to reduce data loss and end-to-end latency during the handover in PMIPv6 domain. The proposed scheme performs 2-step flow mobility on the multi-path established through the multi-interface of mobile node in the handover procedure and uses MPTCP subflow function to overcome end-to-end disconnection during the handover. Therefore, the proposed scheme takes the advantage of being able to minimize data loss and a latency generated during performing the handover of mobile node.

In a network-based approach such as Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6), the serving network controls the mobility management on behalf of a Mobile Node (MN), thereby eliminating a MN from any mobility-related signaling. Although PMIPv6 is being standardized by the IETF NetLMM WG, PMIPv6 still suffers from a lengthy handover latency and the on-the-fly packet loss during a handover. Therefore, this paper presents an enhanced fast handover scheme for PMIPv6. The proposed handover scheme uses the Neighbor Discovery message of IPv6 to reduce the handover latency and packet buffering at the Mobile Access Gateway (MAG) to avoid the on-the-fly packet loss during a handover. In addition, it uses an additional packet buffering at the Local Mobility Anchor (LMA) to solve the packet ordering problem. We evaluate the performance of the proposed handover scheme using both analytical model and simulation. The numerical analysis shows that the proposed scheme has a relatively shorter handover latency. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme could avoid the on-the-fly packet loss and ensure the packet sequence.

In this paper, we propose a new Active Channel Scanning scheme by scanning active channels employed by neighbor APs' with the handover counts and non overlap channel information for fast handover. Under the proposed scheme, the mobile which has finished handover to connect a new APsends the neighbor AP's channel information learned by itself during handover to the new AP. And then, the new AP relays the neighbor channel information to the old AP. It decides a priority by handover counts and non overlap channel information for building a Neighbor Channel Table(NCT), and also sends the table information to its associated mobile nodes, periodically. As a result each mobile can scan only active neighbor APs' channels when performs handover based on the referring to NCT information. Using NS-2 Simulator, we applied to supposed ACS that the result of simulation decides to sort by handover counts and non overlap channel information. we evaluate our proposed ACS scheme based on NCT along with the full scanning scheme and the selective scanning scheme. From simulation results, we show that the proposed scheme is advantageous over the other two schemes in terms of the number of scanning channels and the scanning latency.

In the existing literature, the handover process reveals numerous problems manifested by high movement detection latency. FMIPv6 can reduce packet loss using a tunnel-based handover mechanism. However, this mechanism may cause performance degradation due to the out-of-sequence packets. Recently. Proxy Mobile IPv6 is proposed for network-based mobility management to reduce overhead in mobile node. PMIPv6 can decrease handover latency which related overhead in MN by using network agent. In this paper, we proposed optimized fast handover scheme called Fast Proxy Mobile IPv6 (EF-PMIPv6). The proposed EF-PMIPv6 can support fast handover using fast IAPP and ND schemes. Further, a mathematical analysis is provided to show the benefits of our scheme. In the analysis, various parameters are used to compare our scheme with the current procedures, while our approach focuses on the reduction of handover latency.
