Abstract

In this paper, we propose a fast handoff algorithm for micromobility management enhancement in HMIPv6 networks, which eliminates the DAD procedure involved in the regular HMIPv6 in order to o decrease handoff latency and increase the resource utilization efficiency. In the proposed scheme, the MAP is designed to guarantee the uniqueness of MN's interface identifier within a MAP domain as long as the MN moves in a MAP domain, so that the MN configures the new address without the DAD procedure resulting in the decreased handoff latency significantly When the MN resides in a subnet, MIPv6 is used adaptively as a mobility management protocol, which is to reduce bandwidth waste from the IP packet header overhead of IP-in-IP tunneling from the regular HMIPv6. We evaluate the performance of the proposed handoff micromobility algorithm in terms of handoff delay and packet loss thru computer simulation. Thru various computer simulation results, we verified the superior performance of the proposed scheme by comparing with the results of other schemes, MIPv6 and HMIPv6.

본 논문에서는 무선/이동 네트워크 환경에서 VoIP와 같은 실시간 서비스를 제공하기 위해 HMIPv6 기반의 빠른 micromobility 관리 프로토콜을 제안하였다. 제안된 방식은 HMIPv6에서 주소 생성과정의 DAD 절차로 인한 지연시간을 줄이기 위해 도메인 내에서 MAP가 MN의 Interface Identifier의 유일성을 보장해 줌으로써 빠른 micromobility 핸드오프를 지원한다. 또한, 기존 HMIPv6의 IP 패킷 터널링으로 인한 대역폭 낭비를 줄이기 위해 HMIPv6 기반에서 MIPv6를 적응적으로 활용함으로써 빠른 핸드오프를 지원하면서 동시에 자원활용의 효율성을 증가시킨다. 제안된 방식의 성능 분석은 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 이루어졌으며, 다양한 네트워크 환경에서 micromobility 핸드오프 지연시간과 패킷 손실에 대하여 기존 방식들인 MIPv6와 HMIPv6들과 비교 분석하였다.
