An Improved Handoff Technique for a Seamless Multimedia Services  

Kim Jeong-Won (신라대학교 컴퓨터정보공학부)
Abstract
Packet transmission and independent addressing in the mobile environments are very similar to the ones in the multicasting environment. So, in this paper, we propose a new scheme about how to manage the multicasting group and to set the communication path in the mobile environment by applying two-level addressing mode, which is similar to mobile If, for location-independent address setting. And we propose the smooth handoff scheme that minimizes the handoff delay for mobile multimedia services. To check the performance of our proposed scheme, we modified the NS-2 network simulator and as a result, we showed that our proposed scheme is better than other techniques in terms of handoff delay and transmitted packets' throughput.
