This paper proposes a seamless handoff scheme that enables a mobile node to continue a session when moving to an overlapping area. During handoff due to the weakness of signaling, mobile node makes new Care-of Addresses using signals received from access router when MN reaches the edge of its area in addition to its current CoA, and it sends temporary binding update messages to Mobility Anchor Point which manage the area covering MN. MAP receives that binding update messages from MN, and temporarily stores new binding informations from them to its binding cache besides existing binding information for MN. This scheme ensures a seamlessly handoff using multicasting until MN enter a new access router area and sends a confirmed binding update message to MAP.

In order to provide seamless wireless Internet service, the basic mobile IP protocol should be enhanced to solve packet loss problem from large registration latency because frequent handoffs occur in cellular networks. In this paper, we suggest a new micro-mobility management protocol based on MPLS while supporting Qos, and evaluate its performance using simulation. We use MPLS label switching techniuqe in cellular access networks to simplify location management and speed up packet transmission. We adopt context transfer procedure to minimize the delay needed to attain prior level of service after handoff Packet loss can be minimized during handoff by transmitting received packets from old BSLER to new BSLER using a spliced LSP between them. Simulation results show that the proposed MPLS-based micro-mobility management protocol provides a seamless handoff and supports QoS of user traffic.

미래의 셀룰라 이동통신망은 멀티미디어 데이터 서빗를 제공하기 위해서 높은 대역폭이 필요하기 때문에 셀의 크기가 수십 미터 내오인 피코 실(pico cell)로 구성되는 피코 셀 망이 될 것이다. 이와 같은 피코 셀룰라 망에서는 이동통신자의 우치 변화에 따른 handoff 처리 회수가 상대적으로 증가하므로, handoff 처리로 인한 망부하가 늘어났고, handoff처리 지연으로 인하여 사용자는 중단없는 연결서비스 (seamless connection service)를 받지 못할 수도 있다. 본 논문은 VT-CSMA방식을 응용한 기법을 새로운 handoff방식으로 제안한다. 이 기법은 handoff에서 사용하고 delay time virtual clock 과 real clock 의 2개의 clock을 갖도록 함으로써, 빠른 속도로 이동하는 호는 느린 속도로 이동하는 호보다 상대적으로 짧은 시간 내에 handoff가 처리 되도록 한다. 모의 실험 결과는 VT-CSMA기법을 응용한 새로운 방식이 기존 CDMA 방식에서 drop되는 호를 많이 줄이는 효과가 있음을 보인다.

Many schemes to reduce the inter-MAP handoff delay in hierarchical mobile IPv6 have been proposed but the previous schemes waste relatively large network resources to decrease the path rerouting delay. In this paper, we propose the 2-layered MAP concept, where the seamless inter-MAP handoff can be supported regardless of path rerouting time. As a result, the waste of wired resources and the rate of the inter-MAP handoff can be reduced. From the performance analysis and simulation, the inter-MAP handoff rate for non-real-time traffic is only about 1/3 of the conventional result. Such advantageous features of the proposed scheme neither incur any increase of the total handoff rate nor require additional MAPs.

Currently, there are many efforts underway to provide Internet service on integrated wireless and wired networks. Supporting IP mobility is one of the major issues to construct IP based wireless network. Mobile IP has been proposed to solve the IP Mobility problem. But, in processing frequent handoffs in cellular based wireless access network, Micro mobility protocols have been proposed to solve these problems. Micro mobility protocols proposed the Cellular IP, HAWII, and Hierarchical Mobile IP. Cellular IP attracts special attention for it's seamless mobility support in limited geographical areas. New BS must be known to occur begging of handoff in Cellular IP indirect handoff. Therefore during perceiving of hanoff, packet loss or packet duplication still can occur in Cellular IP indirect handoff, which results in the degradation of UDP and TCP performance. In this paper, we propose a enhanced indirect handoff scheme for Cellular IP. Proposed handoff scheme is using a crossover node to minimize the signalling procedure and using a buffering to minimize the packet loss or packet duplication.

Cellular IP는 micro-mobility와 seamless handoff를 지원하기 위해 제안된 프로토콜이다. Cellular IP는 핸드오프 동안 지연과 패킷 손실을 줄이기 위해 semi-soft handoff 메커니즘을 사용한다. 반면. 이 메커니즘은 네트워크 자원의 낭비를 초래한다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 낭비를 줄이면서. 핸드오프 동안의 패킷 손실을 방지하는 방안을 제시하고, ns2를 이용한 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안된 메커니즘의 성능을 측정하도록 한다.

Today, packet services for wireless internet is provided by WiBro WLAN 3G, but it is hard to be satisfied seamless connection in each of networks and wide-area service will increase the number of BS(base station) because WiBro and WLAN has been coverage smaller than 3G. that is, communicate which can use continuous and seamless data service is available when user is moving. Therefore, service provider need to integrate network for reducing management expenses. In this paper, we propose advanced handoff algorithm which is considered by 'user demand bandwidth', 'MN(Mobile Node) movement speed' and 'MN service area' and show that simulating result is superior to 'bandwidth allocation', 'QoS(Quality of Service) rate' and 'handoff failure rate'

Nowadays the integration of heterogeneous wireless networks become a hot issue in communications research area. Especiall,y, 3G and WiBro interworking will be introduced soon as users can be offered the most suitable service according to service area and service providers can reduce network construction and operation expenses. In this paper, we propose an interworking scheme for fast handoff between 3G and WiBro networks. The SCI (Smoothly Coupled Integration) scheme proposed in this paper takes advantages of the existing LCI (Loosely Coupled Integration) and TCI (Tightly Coupled Integration) scheme and can offer seamless services by providing fast handoff between 3G and WiBro although each network may work independently. Through extensive computer simulations using OPNET, the efficiency of the proposed scheme has been validated.

Mobile Gateway(MG) is a wireless LAN device to provide internet services to a passenger on vehicles like a bus. For using internet services, MG connects the Road Side Unit AP(RSU AP) based on WLAN .To provide a stable communication service on the moving vehicle, handoff changing MG's RSU must be handled fast and stably. However, it has a physical limits to remove a disconnection time of handoff process by reason of its technological features. In this paper, we suggest a MIMG(Multi-Interface Mobile Gateway) executing seamless handoff by using multiple wireless LAN interfaces for connecting RSU. In the detailed way to do stable handoff, we suggest the "Link Sharing Technique" to disconnection time of packet transmission for RSU to MIMG and the "Path Sharing Technique" to remove disconnection time of packet transmission for MIMG to RSU. we implemented the MIMG which performs the suggested handoff technique. We confirmed the superiority of our system by remove of the disconnection time(0 ms), and improved over 50 % of the communication bandwidth.

Today's wireless access networks consist of several tiers that overlap each other. Provisioning of real time undisrupted communication to mobile users, anywhere and anytime through these heterogeneous overlay networks, is a challenging task. We extend the end-to-end approach for the handoff management in hybrid wireless data network by designing a fully mobile-controlled handoff for mobile devices equipped with dual mode interfaces. By handoff, we mean switching the communication between interfaces connected to different subnets. This mobile-controlled handoff scheme reduces the service disruption time during both horizontal and vertical handoffs and does not require any modification in the access networks. We exploit the IP diversity created by the dual interfaces in the overlapping area by simultaneously connecting to different subnets and networks. Power saving is achieved by activating both interfaces only during the handoff period. The performance evaluation of the handoff is carried out by a simple mathematical analysis. The analysis shows that with proper network engineering, exploiting the speed of mobile node and overlapping area between subnets can reduce service disruption and power consumption during handoff significantly. We believe that with more powerful network interfaces our proposal of dual interfaces can be realized.
