Mobile IP Low Latency Handoffs(l) allow greater support for real-time services on a Mobile IP network by minimizing the period of time when a mobile node is unable to send or receive IP packets due to the delay in the Mobile IP Registration process. However, on Mobile IP network with AAA servers that are capable of performing Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting(AAA) services, every Registration has to be traversed to the home network to achieve new session keys, that are distributed by home AAA server, for a new Mobile IP session. This communication delay is the time taken to re-authentication the mobile node and to traverse between foreign and home network even if the mobile node has been previously authorized to old foreign agent. In order to reduce these extra time overheads, we present a method that performs Low Latency Handoffs without requiring further involvement by home AAA server. The method re-uses the previously assigned session keys. To provide confidentiality and integrity of session keys in the phase of key exchange between agents, it uses a key sharing method by gateway foreign agent that performs a trusted thirty party. The proposed method allows the mobile node to perform Low Latency Handoffs with fast as well as secure operation.

Mobile IP Low Latency Handoffs allow greater support for real-time services on a Mobile W network by minimizing the period of time when a mobile node is unable to send or receive IP packets due to the delay in the Mobile IP Registration process. However, on Mobile IP network with AAA servers that are capable of performing Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting(AAA) services, every Registration has to be traversed to the home network to achieve new session keys, that are distributed by home AAA server, for a new Mobile IP session. This communication delay is the time taken to re-authenticate the mobile node and to traverse between foreign and home network even if the mobile node has been previously authorized to old foreign agent. In order to reduce these extra time overheads, we present a method that performs Low Latency Handoffs without requiring funker involvement by home AAA server. The method re-uses the previously assigned session keys. To provide confidentiality and integrity of session keys in the phase of key exchange between agents, it uses a key sharing method by gateway foreign agent that Performs a ousted thirty party.

Mobile IP Low Latency Handoffs［1］는 Mobile IP 등록 요청 절차를 처리하는데 있어서 단말의 지연 때문에 생기는 블록킹 시간을 최소화 시켜 실시간 서비스를 가능하게 해 준다. 그러나 인증, 권한 검증, 과금을 지원하는 AAA 기반의 Mobile IP 망에서는 매 지역 등록이 일어날 때마다 새로운 세션 및 세션 키가 필요하며, 이를 위해 홈 망까지 등록 절차가 수행되어야 한다. 이로 인해, 이동 노드 재인증 절차와 방문 망에서 홈 망까지의 트랜잭션으로 인한 통신 지연이 발생한다. 이러한 지연을 줄이기 위해서 본 논문에서는 홈 망의 AAA 서버가 관여되지 않고, 이전에 할당된 세션 키를 재 사용하여 Low Latency Handoffs를 수행하는 기법을 제안한다. 이 기법에서는 이전 방문 에이전트와 새로운 방문 에이전트간 세션 키를 교환하는 단계에서 발생하는 보안 취약성을 해결할 수가 있으며 홈 망까지 트랜잭션이 필요 없고, 세션 키의 기밀성이 제공되므로 이동 노드가 빠르고 안전하게 핸드오프를 수행할 수 있다.

Mobility support for mobile networks will be important to minimize the packet overhead, to optimize routing, to reduce handoff latency, and to reduce the volume of handoff signals. Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) and Hierarchical MIPv6 (HMIPv6) are one of mobility management protocols (MMPs) that provides network layer mobility over all access technologies. However, the communication quality of these candidates is severely degraded during handoffs. As another way to improve the handoff performance of a mobile network by conventional MMPs such as MIPv6 and HMIPv6, we propose a Low Latency Handoff Scheme (LLHS) combining Fast MIPv6 (FMIPv6) with HMIPv6 extension with buffering function, in which Mobility Anchor Points (MAPs) buffer packets destined to the Mobile Routers (MRs) or MNs within a mobile network during handoffs. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme reduces transmission delay and packet loss in UDP communication.
