Abstract
With significant development in wireless communication technologies, the needs to handover from one network to another have grown dramatically. Recently IETF developed MIPv6 and FMIPv6 which are used to handover between different access networks. These handover mechanisms have some known weaknesses. MIPv6 can not serve time-critical application because it causes long handover latency and packet loss. By these reasons, MIPv6 does not guarantee session continuity. FMIPv6 uses handover preparation phase to reduce DAD latency. However FMIPv66 still suffers from long handover latency, because it must perform binding update at the end of handover procedure. In this paper we propose new handover mechanism FMIPv6-PBU which eliminates binding update latency. The proposed mechanism has compatability with lagacy FMIPv6. In this paper propose FMIPv6-PBU handover procedure and explain its procedures and evaluate it with MIPv6 and FMIPv6.
