In this paper, a new handover management scheme has been proposed to reduce handover latency and to support fast handover without packet losses, so that it may be applicable to the wireless mobile Internet system such as IPv6-based WiBro system. To minimize the handover latency in processing of movement detection, we propose the handover management scheme which simplifies the handover message exchanging procedure between mobile subscriber station (MSS) and network by integrating layer 2 and layer 3 handovers efficiently based on the layer2 information. To reduce the processing delay from new care-of-address (NCoA) configuration during handover, we propose that NCoA is created, distributed and managed by new access control router (NACR). In addition, in order to minimize the packet transmission delay and eliminate the packet losses, the proposed scheme employs a crossover router (CR) which is upper network located over PACR and NACR and employs the packet buffering for MSS. The simulation study shows that the proposed scheme achieves loss-free packet delivery and low latency in the environment of narrow overlapped cell area or high velocity of the MSS, comparing the performance with the conventional schemes.

Providing node mobility on IP-based wireless networks is required by the increasing Internet access of the mobile nodes and Mobile-IPv6 was suggested for IPv6. But Mobile-IPv6 degrades the overall performance of wireless networks by the packet loss while performing its handover function. Therefore, lots of efforts and researches to resolve this problem have been doing from now on. FMIPv6 is one of the improved methods that was designed to provide seemless handover. But it still has a problem that the handover is strictly depended on the triggered information of the unreliable link layer. In this paper, a scheme called mptFMIPv6 that minimizes delay of critical section of CoA registration process by reducing the link layer dependency was proposed.

The existing handover authentication schemes have authentication delay and overhead of the authentication server since they have been separately studied handover authentication at the link layer and the network layer. This paper proposes a handover authentication scheme initiated by Mobile Node on FMIPv6 based mobile access networks. The main idea of the paper is to generate a session key at the mobile node side, and transfer it to the next Access Router through the authentication server. Also, the scheme has a hierarchical key management at access router. There are two advantages of the scheme. First, the generated session key can be utilized for protecting the binding update messages and also for access authentication. Second, hierarchical key management at the access router reduced the handover delay time. The security aspects on the against PFS, PBS, and DoS attack of proposed scheme are discussed.

In this paper, we propose a mechanism for increasing the handover performance of the IEEE 802.11 link layer. The mechanism reduces the number of scanning channels by referencing an AP map based on GPS. Also, by monitoring the SNRs of the mobile node and neighbor APs, it enables the handover to maintain a higher SNR than a given threshold. The experimental results establish that it has a disconnection ratio of 6.7% and an average SNR of 16.8 dB. It is 4.1% lower disconnection ratio and 26% higher SNR than the mechanism used by MadWifi.

In this paper, we propose a proxy-based fast handover scheme to improve a performance in the mobile WiMAX network using PMIPv6 for supporting the network-layer mobility. In our proposed scheme, we define three link-layer messages and one network-layer message to reduce the handover latency, and propose a buffering mechanism to minimize packet loss and solve out-of-sequence problem. A performance evaluation indicates that the proposed scheme works more efficiently than PMIPv6 in terms of the handover latency and packet loss.

For the next generation mobile communication system, diverse wireless network techniques such as beyond 3G LTE, WiMAX/WiBro, and next generation WLAN etc. are proceeding to the form integrated into the All-IP core network. According to this development, Beyond 3G integrated into heterogeneous wireless access technologies must support the vertical handover and network to be used of several radio networks. However, unified management of each network is demanded since it is individually serviced. Therefore, in order to solve this problem this study is introducing the theory of Common Radio Resource Management (CRRM) based on Generic Link Layer (GLL). This study designs the structure and functions to support the vertical handover and propose the vertical handover algorithm of which policy-based and MCDM are composed between LTE and WLAN systems using GLL and CRRM. Finally, simulation results are presented to show the improved performance over the data throughput, handover success rate and the system service cost.

Mobile IPv6 is the representative standard protocol proposed to offer mobility of mobile hosts, but it has drawbacks such as high handover latency and packet loss during handover. To complement these drawbacks, several protocols have been proposed and they can support faster handover than the Mobile IPv6, but there still exists inevitable packet loss during handover in those protocols. In this paper, we propose a new handover procedure of mobile host who has a dual link for minimizing packet loss rate during micro handover to improve mobility capability of Cellular Ethernet system that supports mobility at layer 2. And we derive the superiority of proposed scheme by comparing in terms of packet loss rate, handover latency and throughput of proposed scheme with those of Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 which is the representative IP-layer micro mobility protocol by simulation.

The Fast Handover in Hierarchical Mobile IPv6(F-HMIPv6) scheme provides a seamless handover in mobile IP networks effectively. However, there is a problem that the mobile node can lose its connectivity to the previous access router because of a sudden degradation of the link quality during fast handover procedure. Additionally, in many cases, the mobile node does not have enough time to exchange messages during the fast handover procedure, especially in case of movement with high speed during handover. In this paper, we propose a modification to F-HMIPv6 that significantly reduces the time to exchange messages during fast handover procedure and thereby increases the probability which the F-HMIPv6 can perform the fast handover in predictive mode.

Recently there has been much effort, in both academia and industry, to integrate a plethora of wireless technologies in order to provide seamless connection to mobile users. To support seamless connection on terminal needs fast handover function and location management function. Especially, Performing fast handover has to interact with function of datalink layer and mobility based IP. In this paper, we propose a handover decision mechanism using MIH( Media Independent Handover) in hybrid networks to reduce the delay of transmission for data.
