초록

WLP 기반 모바일 IP의 무선 네트워크에서, 사용자의 이동에 의한 핸드오프로 발생하는 패킷 손실은 TCP 수율 성능을 심각하게 악화시킬 수 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해, 사용자의 이동에 의하여 손실된 패킷을 복원하는 Bridge Station(BS) 패킷 버퍼링 방식이 제안됐다. BS 패킷 버퍼링 방식을 이용하면 핸드오프 동안 손실되는 패킷들이 이전 BS에서 저장되고, 핸드오프 종료시 저장된 패킷들이 새로운 BS로 포워딩되어, 복구된다. 그러나 WLP 디바이스가 새로운 WLP 서브 네트워크의 혼잡한 BS로 이동한 경우, 이전 BS가 포워딩하는 패킷들은 손실되고, 이전 BS가 포워딩하는 패킷들의 버스트한 도착 특성으로 심화된 혼잡이 BS 내 WLP 디바이스 플로들의 TCP 전송 성능을 저하시킨다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 BS 패킷 버퍼링 방식을 사용하는 WLP 기반 모바일 IP 무선 네트워크에서, AS(Assured Service) WLP 디바이스의 in-profile(IN) 및 전체 패킷 수율 감소를 막기 위해, 핸드오프 시 버퍼링된 out-of-profile(OUT) 패킷을 IN 패킷으로 Re- Marking하는 PBM(Packet Bridge Marker) 방식을 제안한다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 제안하는 PBM 방식을 사용하여 AS WLP 디바이스의 버퍼링된 OUT 패킷의 손실을 막아 핸드오프 시 IN 패킷의 수율뿐만 아니라 전체 패킷 수율도 향상시킬 수 있음을 보인다.

Performance of TCP can be severely degraded in WLP-based Mobile IP wireless networks where packet loss not related to network congestion occurs frequently during WLP-based inter-subnetwork handoff by user mobility. To resolve such a problem in the networks using WLP-based Mobile IP, the packet buffering method recovering seamlessly the packets dropped due to user mobility has been proposed. The packet buffering method at a bridge station recovers those packets dropped during handoff by forwarding buffered packets at the old bridge station to the WLP device. But, when the WLP device moves to a congested bridge station in a new WLP foreign subnetwork, those buffered packets forwarded by the old bridge station are dropped and TCP transmission performance of a WLP device in the congested bridge station degrades due to increased congestion by those forwarded burst packets. In this paper, a PBM(Packet Bridge Marker) is proposed for preventing buffered out-of-profile(OUT) packets from reducing the throughput of in-profile(IN) packets of an Assured Service WLP device. From this operation, the packet losses of buffered OUT packets are avoided and the throughput of IN and Total packets of an AS WLP device are increased.
