Mobile IP는 단말에게 Mobility를 제공해 줌으로써 이동하면서도 인터넷에 접속할 수 있게 해준다. 하지만 핸드오프시 지연과 데이터 로스의 문제점이 있어 이를 해결하기 위해 Fast Handover 기술이 개발되었다. 또한 앞으로의 이동성 관리는 단말 기반이 아닌 네트워크 기반으로 이루어지면서 Proxy-Mobile IP가 등장 하였고 Proxy-Mobile IP에서도 빠른 이동성 관리를 위해 Fast Handover 기술이 적용될 것이다. 하지만 Fast Handover에서도 터널 확장 문제로 인한 라우팅 경로의 비효율성이 나타나게 된다. 본 논문에서는 IETF MONAMI6의 MCoA 기술을 이용하여 Fast Handover Proxy Mobile IP의 핸드오프 성능 개선 방안을 제안한다.

This paper analyzes problems of existing Mobile IP and redesigns component functions, and proposes handover method using LRS and BCS for handover performance improvement. When mobile node moves another domain, the proposed BCS recognizes its mobility. So, BCS manages mobile node's binding information and serves micro mobility. When handover occurs among domains, micro mobility enables using LRS, As BCS and LRS have buffering function, they can reduce packet loss by forwarding the buffered datagram. It's designed component is implemented in LINUX environment. And then, handover performance was evaluated by simulation. The results of proposed handover method are better than existing method in both transmission delay time and packet loss.

IETF's FMIPv6 protocol enables a mobile node to switch to the reactive mode of handover operation when the prediction of the movement is incorrect. In this case, the mobile node may experience severe service disruption due to large handover latency and packet loss. In order to solve this problem, we propose a fast mobile IP handover with multiple pre-registrations. In the proposed approach, the new temporary IP addresses are prepared in advance at multiple locations where the mobile node may probably move into. In this case, even though the prediction is wrong, the mobile node can move into the alternative locations without causing service disruption. We have designed and implemented a prototype system, and measured the performance of the proposed system. The experimental results show that the proposed approach can reduce the handover latency drastically.

When using the Mobile IP which is the representative technology to secure the mobility in general IP networks, the packet loss during the handover is inescapable. To remedy the packet loss problem, the smooth handover was introduced. However, the smooth handover causes the packets sequence disruption during the packet forwarding procedure and it may result in the degradation of the network performance. The same problem also occurs in the WiBro (High-speed Portable Internet) system that is the next generation portable IP service system. The WiBro system, which provides the high speed data service just like xDSL and leased line in wired internet, aims to guarantee the portability, mobility, and the differentiated service based on IEEE 802.16. So, the handover mechanisms that solve the problems of packet loss and packet sequence distribution are required in the WiBro system. In this paper, we propose the handover mechanism and the packet sequence control algorithm that provide the reliability and the differentiated service for the unicast service in the WiBro system.

In this paper, we present an efficient handover method avoiding ping-pong phenomenon in Wireless LAN systems. In order to provide the seamless VoIP service for terminals with mobility in Wireless LAN systems. Since the variation range of the received signal strength of the moving terminals is large, the handover procedure can be started by an instant drop of the signal strength. Then the handover procedure is repeated, which makes ping-pong phenomenon. Since the quality of service of VoIP can be lowered by ping-pong phenomenon, in this paper, we present the necessary condition to avoid the ping-pong phenomenon. Through LAB test, we show that the proposed handover method can provide an seamless service without the ping-pong phenomenon.

In this paper we propose a novel mobile terminal software architecture supporting energy efficient handover operation in heterogeneous networks. Since the legacy proposals for L3 handover are mostly dependent on IETF Mobile IP which has some problems in movement detection mechanism and no considerations on nested heterogeneous network environment as a result they make serious overload on networks and terminals by performing unnecessary handover in such network environments. The proposed architecture has terminal-oriented network selection and switching architecture where a mobile terminal periodically monitors network status and selects the optimum network, and reduces energy consumption by making L3 handover of Mobile IP to the finally selected network. The network selection method first picks up some candidate networks by considering a terminal speed and power consumption estimation, and determines the final target handover network among the candidates after evaluating multiple factors including QoS required by a terminal, network status, user preference and terminal battery status. Finally we verify the functionality and performance of the energy efficient vertical handover architecture by means of adopting it into a real mobile terminal.

In the Mobile IP, the movement of Mobile Host(MH) causes packets to be transmitted through a long route. A Correspond Node(CN) first communicate with a Home Agent(HA) when a Mobile Host moved from one subnet to another subnet. The HH-MIP algorithm reduces an inefficient transmission of packets by regarding a Foreign Agent(FA) near a mobile host as a Temporary Home Agent(THA). However, The algorithm costs the unnecessary signaling by measuring the distance of route between a FA and a THA for handover in the case that a Mobile host comes from a THA which a current FA never communicated. To solve this problem, we propose a scheme called Hierarchical Home Agent Handover in Mobile IP(HHH-MIP) algorithm. Our HHH-MIP algorithm only searches tables in a router by using the hierarchical structure between a FA and a THA. The simulation results show that the HHH-MIP algorithm reduces the additional signaling cost.

The Fast Handover protocol ［1］ provides seameless handover in wireless If networks by minimizing handover latency, which uses anticipation based on layer 2 (L2) trigger information. Therefore, it incurs higher signaling costs compared with the basic Mobile U protocol. Furthermore, since the L2 trigger is based on fluctuating wireless channel states, the handover anticipation may sometimes be incorrect. In the case of incorrect anticipation, unnecessary buffer space may be used for the purpose of providing a smooth handover. Therefore, it is essentical to analyze these overhead costs, in order to evaluate and compare the performance of Fast Handover with that of the basic Mobile U protocol. In this paper, we analyzed the overhead associated with Fast Handover including the signaling cost and the packet delivery cost. We formulated these costs based on a timing diagram and compared Fast Handover with basic Mobile Ipv6 in terms of their packet loss rates and buffer requirements. Also, we studied the impact of the L2 triggering time on the total overhead cost.

Since various type of wireless/mobile network likes WLAN, WIBRO, HSDPA were come to us, technology providing high quality multimedia service while user move are actively researched such as MIH (Media Independent Handover) proposed by IEEE for interworking between heterogeneous network and CMIP (Client Mobile IP), PMIP (Proxy Mobile IP) for mobility. Despite the technology about interworking and handover between heterogeneous network are actively researched, handover decision method need to be researched. In this paper we suggest a simple and effective handover method for high quality multimedia service in real wireless environment. For this, we use MIH+CMIP platform for target multimedia service to make handover decision rule in WIBRO and HSDPA networks. After apply this rule, we verified effectiveness of handover decision method through real test.

NEMO is technique to support mobility of a network, not a node, and ensures session continuity for all the nodes in a Mobile Network. However NEMO basic support protocol causes high handover latency, thus it is incongruent real-time services such as VoIP. One of schemes to reduce handover latency is FNEMO. FNEMO that combines conventional NEMO and FMIPv6, reduces latency during the handover, thus it supports fast handover. In this paper, we compare/analyze handover of FNEMO in heterogeneous/homogeneous network, and propose schemes to reduce handover latency.
