The Network-based handover still has problems such as the transmission delays and the packet losses in the case of macro mobility, though technological advances have been made in the wireless and mobile communication. For end-to-end handover, the link bandwidth has been reduced in the wireless network due to its burst errors and congestion control. To overcome such problems, we propose a new scheme of the macro handover according to the protocol layer. The proposed macro handover is implemented on the network layer to partially substitute wired signaling for wireless signaling, to flexibly employ buffers, and on the transport layer to postpone its retransmission time. We have performed extensive simulation using ns-2 and the result shows that our proposed scheme outperforms the other existing schemes in terms of transmission delay, packet loss, and data transfer rate during the handovers.

In this paper, we analyze the effect of mobility management method to the data rate of moving users when pico-cell which uses the same frequency bandwidth as that of macro-cell is overlaid over macro-cell. From this analysis, we show that the data rate which is available to the moving user depends on the method of mobility management and relative location of the overlaid pico-cell over macro-cell in the network.

Due to the explosive popularization of the Internet, it has been researched for many mobile terminals how to receive various multimedia information. Especially, it has been considered that a mobile terminal is serviced with multimedia information through a inherent IP address. In this paper we have proposed the Handover Signaling Method and analyzed the Handover delay time of this proposed method in wireless section. This proposed method is appropriate to Broadband systems with Mobile IP. We have simulated Handover delay time with respect to the distance between a terminal and base stations

Handover is needed in multi-hop relay systems to support mobility. The main purpose of handover is to provide the continuous connection when a MS migrates from the air-interface of one BS to another air-interface provided by another BS. Especially the handover between different systems is essential to next generation network. Vertical Handover technology in Mobile WiMAX MMR system is very useful for operators to introduce to Mobile WiMAX system in an overlaid cell environment. This technology will be applied to technology which hands MRS(Mobile Relay Station) over to different systems for system performance enhancement in Ubiquitous environment overlaid between Micro ce11(Frequency 1,FA1) and Macro cell(Frequency 2,FA2). In this paper, FA1 and FA2 are used in order to perform Vertical Handover of MRS(Mobile Relay Station) according to suggested conditions. interferences from neighboring BS or other sectors of 6 macro cells surrounding center Macro cell are analyzed and throughputs are measured according to suggested conditions.

Coordinated Multi-Point (CoMP) transmission / reception is being studied in Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) for future evolution of the $3^{rd}$ Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) LTE. Support of soft handover is essential for improving the performance of cell edge users. CoMP provides a natural framework for enabling soft handover in the LTE system. This paper evaluates the soft handover gain in LTE-A downlink. Mathematical analysis of signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) gain and the handover margins for soft handover and hard handover are derived. CoMP system model is developed and an inter-cell and intra-cell interference model is derived, taking into account the pathloss, shadowing, cell loading, and traffic activity. Reference signal received power (RSRP) is used to define the triggers and the measurements for soft handover. Our results indicate that parameter choices such as handover margin and the CoMP set size impact CoMP performance gain.

HMIP, an extending version of MIP, makes the signaling traffic low, thereby reducing the packet losses and delay. However, it still has the same problem in MIPv6 in the case of macro mobility, though it can reduce the out-signaling in the case of a micro mobility, a regional mobility with the MAP protocol. To overcome this problem, this paper proposes a handover which exploits an address insurance with selective buffering for the HMIP macro handover. This scheme can decrease the lost packets and the delay time and provide better performance for high QoS traffic and real-time multimedia transmission. The simulation result shows that the proposed scheme makes the transmission delay time and the lost packets smaller than the existing schemes.

The binding update of MIPv6 which basically makes a route optimization lets MN bring about high signaling traffic, packet loss and delay. HMIPv6, which introduces the MAP protocol, makes the signaling traffic low, thereby reducing the packet losses and delay. However, it still has the same problem in MIPv6 in the case of macro mobility. This paper proposes HMIPv6 with the address insurance policy. It makes MAP prepare LCoA and RCoA before the macro handover happens. When it happens, MN is able to use them after the registration is done in the foreign network. The perormance can be improved because MAP is composed to assure the address in advance. In addition the MAP sends the BU message during the handover, thereby making the proposed scheme better. The simulation shows that the proposed scheme is about 33% shorter than HMIPv6 in the handover delay and about 22% less than FMIPv6 in the packet loss.

Since the Wibro service realize mobile network on the public, it has been considered that it is not enough to support real time service at vehicular speed. The standard Fast Mobile IPv6 Handover Protocol using HMIPv6 may guarantee seamless service as long as the Mobile Node moves in the same domain MAP however it does not regard fast handover over inter-MAP domain. Thus Macro Mobility Handover in HMIPv6 was proposed to reduce handover latency in inter-MAP domain. But it is still not enough to support real-time service. So we propose an Improved FHMIPv6 over 802.16e network to reduce the overall handover latency. We embedded Layer 3 handover messages of the FHMIPv6 into the Layer 2 handover messages. So the MN is able to $^-nish$ overall handover procedure earlier in our scheme. The numerical results show the performance of IFHMIPv6 has improved about 32% in comparison with FHMIPv6.

In this paper, a new mathematical scheme of Macro Handover Management (MHM) in F-HMIPv6 networks based on Location Based Services (LBS) is proposed. Previous schemes based on F-HMIPv6 protocol usually suffer from three major drawbacks: First, They don't exploit the information about the user mobility behavior in order to reduce handover effects. Second, they only focus on the micro mobility level. Third, they don't consider the quality of service (QoS) of the traffic. The proposed MHM scheme avoids these drawbacks using the available information about Mobile Node (MN) such as user mobility patterns and MN's velocity to predict handover and improve network's QoS. It also takes the traffic type in consideration since it presents a major factor in locating QoS for the user. MHM is analyzed and compared with the F-HMIPv6. The results show that MHM improves the performance in terms of packet delivery cost, location update cost, and handover latency. The design of MHM comprises software package in the MN in addition to a hardware part in the network side. It has implications for communication, design, and pricing of mobile services.

Handover is a technical methodology to support mobility of wireless communication users, which mainly affects the capacity of wireless communication systems and the quality of service (QoS) of link level signal. However, in OFDMA-based cellular systems, there are few published technical reports investigating handovers with respect to diversity gains and resource consumption depending on what handover technique is adopted. In this paper, we propose handover schemes exploiting transmit diversity and macro-diversity in order to increase capacity of OFDMA-based wireless communication systems, and analyze their performance. In cellular environments, depending on what handover scheme is selected, average signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio is calculated first for a handover user in order to evaluate the link level QoS. Through this technical evaluation for handover schemes, we conclude what handover scheme is suitable for OFDMA-based cellular systems.
