Abstract
In this paper, we propose a mobility management scheme which has a simple IP emulation method based on virtual interface. This scheme supports prevention of service abortion resulting from RAT (Radio Access Technology) interface switching during vertical handover and provides mobility management convenience according to maintenance of consistency in simple IP mobility management scheme of 3rd generation mobile network. Through the empirical experiments of proposed method, we check out the improvement of handover performance of the proposed scheme based on vertical handover latency comparing with a non-virtual interface system.
