This paper proposes low latency handover procedure for seamless connectivity and QoS support between wired (e.g. Ethernet) and wireless (e.g. WLAN, WiBro(802.16-compatible), CDMA) networks by the mobile-assisted and server-initiated handover strategy. It is assumed that the server decides the best target network considering network status and user preferences. In this procedure, a mobile terminal associates with the wireless link decided at the server in advance and receives CoA as well. When handover occurs without the prediction in wired networks, the server performs fast binding update using physical handover trigger through the MIH (media independent handover) function. As a result, a mobile terminal does not need to perform L2 and L3 handover during handover so that this procedure decreases handover latency and loss.

With the recent advancements in various wireless communication technologies, the importance of mobile multicasting is coming to the fore, in an effort to use network resources more efficiently. In the past, when various mobile IP-based multicast techniques were proposed, the focus was put on the costs needed for network delivery for providing multicast services, as well as on minimizing the multicast handover delay. For techniques using MIPv6 (Mobile IPv6), a host-based mobility management protocol, however, it is fundamentally difficult to resolve the problems of handover delay and tunnel convergence. To resolve these problems, a network-based mobility management protocol called PMIPv6 (Proxy Mobile IPv6) was standardized. Although performance is improved in PMIPv6 over MIPv6, it still suffers from the problems of handover delay and tunnel convergence. In this paper, to overcome these limitations, a technique called LFH (Low-cost and Fast Handoff) is proposed for fast and low-cost mobility management with multicasting support in PMIPv6 networks. To reduce the interactions between the complex multicast routing protocol and the multicast messages, a simplified proxy method called MLD (Multicast Listener Discovery) is implemented and modified. Furthermore, a TCR (Tunnel Combination and Reconstruction) algorithm was used in the multicast handover procedure within the LMA (Local Mobility Anchor) domain, as well as in the multicast handover procedure between domains, in order to overcome the problem of tunnel convergence. As a result, it was found that LFH has reduced multicast delay compared to other types of multicast techniques, and that it requires lower costs as well.

Mobile IPv6(MIPv6) features have several defects such as overloading of nodes, loss of wireless signals, packet loss, movement problem and so forth. Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) got over the limit of MIPv6 problems. MIPv6 features have several defects such as overloading of nodes, loss of wireless signals, packet loss, movement problem and so forth. Research on PMIPv6, which features network-based mobility is actively in progress in order to resolve these issues. PMIPv6 is emerging as a new paradigm that can overcome the limitations of the existing MIPv6. Nevertheless, such PMIPv6 also incurs problems during hand-over. While it offers a solution to node-based problems, it does, too, create long delay times during hand-over. Since MN (Mobile Node) has been sensing its own movements on MIPv6, fast handover can be done easily. However it can't apply fast handover like MIPv6, as it can't apply fast handover like MIPv6 In this paper, the author solved hand-over problem on MIPv6. MAG knows location information of MN and if MN moves into other MAG's area, Location Server gives MN information to the MAG. Therefore, this mechanism makes hand-over process easier.

최근 공중 무선랜 서비스와 같이 IP 기반의 액세스 망을 사용하는 네트워크 환경이 증가하고, IP를 기반으로 하는 차세대 네트워크 환경이 대두됨에 따라 IP 기반의 이동성 관리 기술의 필요성이 증가하고 있다. IP 기반의 이동성 지원을 위해 MIPv6 프로토콜이 제시되었으며, MIPv6의 핸드오버 성능을 개선하기 위한 여러 가지 확장 프로토콜이 제시되고 있다 대표적으로 계층적인 구조에서 지역 이동성을 지원하는 MAP을 도입함으로써 바인딩 갱신에 소요되는 지연 시간을 줄이는 HMIPv6와 새로운 망에서 사용될 주소를 미리 생성하고 라우터들 간의 터널을 통해 패킷을 전달함으로써 패킷 손실을 줄이는 FMIPv6이 제시되었다. 이 두 가지 프로토콜을 결합함으로써 보다 우수한 핸드오버 성능을 제공할 수 있을 것이다. 그러나 단순한 두 프로토콜의 결합은 패킷의 전달 경로를 복잡하게 하는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 HMIPv6와 FMIPv6을 결합할 때 발생하는 복잡한 경로를 단순화하는 F-HMIPv6 프로토콜을 제안한다.

Streaming video has become a popular form of transferring media over the wired/wireless network. TCP-friendly rate control (TFRC) is used as a streaming media transport protocol. Using the TCP congestion response function and current network conditions, TFRC adjusts its sending rate to yield the maximum TCP-friendly throughput. Since TFRC was designed for applications that would prefer to maintain a slowly-changing sending rate, it is less responsive to changes in handover between wireless heterogeneous networks such as 3G network, WLAN, and so on. This paper shows a new TFRC method for vertical handover over wireless heterogeneous network. The proposed TFRC method has features of low quality interruption and fast rate adaptation to a new target network. The simulation results show that the proposed one provides better QoS and throughput support than the traditional TFRC scheme during vertical handover.

As the number of a smart phone user over the world surprisingly grows and a wireless Internet market expands, service requirement of a mobile terminal is increasing. However, because there is no consideration of mobility in the early standard step, it is difficult to expect to improve the service performance in handover procedure. This paper proposes a PFMIPv6 handover scheme by using probe request message and authentication message and by using buffering scheme in IEEE 802.11. In addition, we simulated this proposal scheme and verified that the proposed handover scheme is improved in terms of handover delay, and average FTP throughput during the handover period.

MIPv6 는 MN(Mobile Node)가 자신의 홈 네트워크를 벗어나 외부 네트워크로 이동하여도 다른 노드들과 끊김 없이 지속적인 통신을 할 수 있게 해주는 인터넷 프로토콜이다. MN 은 외부네트워크로 이동 후 HA(Home Agent) 및 CN(Correspondent Node)로 핸드오버(Handover) 동작의 수행하며 이로 인한 지연이 발생하게 된다. 이러한 지연을 줄이기 위한 대책으로 Fast 핸드오버가 등장하였다. Fast 핸드오버 과정에서 MN 은 이동하려는 서브넷의 라우터(New Access Router: NAR)로의 전환을 위하여 현재 연결된 AR 과 미리 정보를 주고 받게 되고, 이동이 발생한 후에 NAR 과의 핸드오버 지연시간이 감소하게 된다. 반면 공격자가 flooding 을 통해 MN 에게 DoS(Denial of Service) 공격을 가하여 MN 을 다운시킨 후, MN 으로 위장하여 데이터를 가로채는 취약점이 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 위의 취약점을 보완하기 위하여 핸드오버 과정에서 주고받는 메세지에 대한 기밀성 및 노드 인증을 제공하는 ID 기반 암호시스템에 기반한 안전한 Fast 핸드오버 방식을 제안한다. 제안하는 모델은 메시지의 암호화와 노드 인증을 통해 무결성 및 기밀성을 보장하고 Traditional PKI 시스템에 비해 공개키 인증시간을 단축하는 이점을 가질 것으로 기대된다.

Recently, there are growing interests in femto-cell for providing indoor users with various broadband multimedia services more efficiently. The technical issues regarding femto-cell such as interference management, self-organization, and resource allocation are now being intensively studied and investigated by researchers worldwide. In this paper, two novel schemes of neighboring cell list(NCL) management are proposed for the IEEE 802.16e system where a macro-cell and huge number of femto-cells coexist. The proposed schemes, named MS location-based neighboring cell list management and BS type-based neighboring cell list management, enable a mobile station(MS) to perform fast scanning and efficient handover by means of preselecting the candidate target femto-cells with high possibility for handover. The simulation result shows that the proposed schemes improve the MS's handover-related performance in terms of scanning power and scanning time compared with the conventional managements scheme of IEEE 802.16e system.

The current trend of the handover authentication delay time is gradually increased according to the interworking between 3G cellular network and WLANs. Therefore, authentication mechanism minimized in delay is required to perform the seamless handover and support the inter-subnet and inter-domain handover. In this paper, we propose a novel pre-authentication scheme based on the fast channel switching which directly performs the authentication with the next access point in advance. In addition, the proposed scheme is efficient in the inter-domain handover and can be easily implemented in current WLANs since it just modifies the client side of user. To analysis and evaluate our scheme, we compare the packet loss ratio and the delay time with the two standard 802.11 authentication schemes. The analytical results show that our scheme is approximate 10 times more effective than the standard schemes in packet loss and the delay time is minimized down to 0.16 msec.

In this paper fast mobile multicast handover mechanism based on IEEE 802.21 MIH (Media Independent Handover) is proposed. We solve long multicast handover delay time caused by L3 movement detection mechanism of the existing mobile multicast methods. The proposed architecture adopts multicast manager concept to MIH framework in order to efficiently perform mobile multicast handover, and adds the new MIH messages dedicated for mobile multicast. Since multicast channel zapping operations of mobile users effectively make a mobile terminal handover, the architecture should consider the situations. Multicast network selection algorithm is designed by means of terminal speed and fair selection algorithm named AHP/GRA. Finally the performance of the proposed architecture against the legacy mobile multicast mechanisms is evaluated in terms of signaling cost and multicast handover delay time.
