When a Mobile IP handoff occurs, the packets in flight can be lost because they are tunneled based on out-of-date location information. In this parer, we propose an enhanced handoff protocol that achieves no packet loss during Mobile IP handoff over a wireless LAN. Our handoff protocol predicts the next foreign agent that a mobile host is to visit by using: the information from the data link layer of wireless LAN. After that, when a Mobile IP handoff occult, the current foreign agent forwards the packets destined to a mobile host to the predicted foreign agent which buffers them. This eliminates packet loss and reduces the packet forwarding delay. Our handoff protocol is simulated using the Network Simulator-2 (ns-2) and shows the substantial performance enhancement of TCP with much less overhead up to 6.2 times compared to standard Mobile IP.

최근 무선네트워크의 급속한 확대로 무선인터넷 접속 또한 크게 증가하고 있다. 무선인터넷을 이용하는 Voice over IP 서비스는 IP 기반의 인터넷과 셀룰러 네트워크를 합쳐 놓은 것과 유사하며 모바일 노드의 이동성 확보가 핵심 기술이다. 특히 VoIP 서비스 이용자는 지연이나 끊어짐에 대하여 매우 민감하므로 가급적 지연시간이 적은 핸드오프 기법이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 무선네트워크를 이용하는 VoIP 서비스 프로토콜 중 하나인 SIP를 기반으로 이동성 관리를 위한 신호의 흐름을 도시하여 발생 가능한 지연의 구성요소를 분석하였으며 핸드오프 지연을 줄이기 위한 Prediction Shadow Registration을 제안하였다.

미래의 통합 이동 통신망은 멀티미디어 데이터 서비스를 하기 위해 작은 셀로 망이 구성될 것이다. 셀이 작은 경우, 이동 호스트의 셀간 이동이 상대적으로 증가해서 잦은 핸드오프 처리로 서비스 중단이 빈번히 발생할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 자원의 낭비도 많아지게 된다. 따라서 이런 문제를 해결하기 위해 이동 호스트의 이동성을 예측해서 멀티캐스트 연결을 구성해서 사전 핸드오프 처리를 하는 SGMH방법을 제안한다. SGMH방법의 성능 평가를 위해 핸드오프 처리과정의 데이터 및 제어 정보의 흐름을 분석하고, 망 종속 인자들을 도입해서 버퍼 오버헤드와 서비스 중단 시간 면에서 기존 핸드오프 방법들과 비교했다. 비교 분석한 결과는 제안한 방법이 기존의 방법보다 기지국에서의 버퍼 오버헤드뿐만 아니라 서비스 중단 시간을 줄일 수 있음을 보였다.Abstract For mobile multimedia data services, future mobile communication networks will consist of small cells. In case of smaller cell size, the number of user movements between cells will increase and more network resources will be consumed for processing frequent handoffs. This processing delay will cause frequent connection service disruptions. To solve these problems, a multicast-based handoff method ,called SGMH(Sub-Group Multicast-based Handoff), is suggested. SGMH method estimates future movements of mobile hosts and setups a dynamic multicast connection tree for procesing handoffs. For performance evaluation, we represent flows of data and control messages as timing diagrams and introduce several network related factors. In terms of buffer overhead and service disruption time we compared the SGMH method to other methods. The results show that SGMH method has better performance in that it can reduce consumption of network resources and minimize service disruption time.

Because a wireless ad hoc network does not have fixed infrastructure, a call admission control approach researched in a wireless network is not feasible to this network. In this paper, we propose call admission control scheme to support this problem and the burst handoff traffic due to group mobility in a wireless ad hoc network. This scheme is an adaptive guard channel scheme which adapt the number of guard channels in each MBS(mobile base station) according to the current estimate of the potential handoff call rate derived from the number of ongoing calls within the coverage area of an MBS that initiate group handoff in a wireless ad hoc network. Our simulation studies are performed for comparisons of the proposed scheme with the other channel allocation schemes. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme efficiently reduces handoff call blocking probability in wireless ad hoc networks.

This paper presents adaptive-MMOSPRED method for prediction of resource demands requested by multimedia calls, and shows the performance of the call admission control based on proposed resource prediction method in multimedia wireless networks. The proposed method determines (I-CDP) random variables of the standard normal distribution by using LMS algorithm that minimize errors of prediction in resource demands, while parameters in an existing method are constant all through the prediction time. Our simulation results show that prediction error in adaptive-MMOSPRED method is much smaller than in fixed-MMOSPRED method. Also we can see via simulation the CAC performance based on the proposed method improves the new call blocking performance compared with the existing method under the desired handoff dropping probability.

Generally, a geographical area consists of many regions called cells in wireless networks. Each mobile host(MH) in a cell communicates with a base station(BS) located in the center of the cell. The BSs are connected to each other by a static wired network. Since users are expected to move around during communication sessions, one of the most important QoS factors is related to the handoff. But, the handoff could fail due to unavailability of sufficient bandwidth in the next cell. As the individual cell size gradually shrinks to accommodate increasing the number of MHs, the probability of successful handoffs can be dropped. In this paper, we suppose a bandwidth reservation method to guarantee MHs against connection failure in case of frequent handoffs. This method predicts the mobility based on the geographical information and assigns the bandwidth reservation in proportion to the speed of MHs' motion. As a result, we can expect more exact moving path of MH and to reduce the waste of bandwidth.

Recently, wireless Internet service has become generalized, and required the user authentication of a mobile hosts and QoS. However, time required for user authentication during handoff Processes between a wireless LAN system and mobile hosts is long, and is unsuitable for real-time communication and multimedia applications. In this paper. we improved the existing system in order to reduce a lead time of user authentication as they extended a Fast Inter-AP handoff. We use a Mechanism to assume a confidence degree with bases by the time that stayed at individual wireless LAN systems in order to reduce the handoffs. The experiment network shows that it decreases communication load, and improves communication QoS.

For very large multimedia traffic to be supported successfully in wireless network environment, it is necessary to provide Quality-of-Service(QoS) guarantees between mobile hosts(clients). In order to guarantee the Qos, we have to keep the call blocking probability below target value during handoff session. However, the QoS negotiated between the client and the network may not be guaranteed due to lack of available channels for traffic in the new cell, since mobile clients should be able to continue their on-going sessions. In this paper we propose a efficient load-balancing algorithm based on the adaptive bandwidth reservation scheme for enlarging available channels in a cell. We design a new method to predict the mobility of clients using MPT(mobility profile table). This method is then used to reserve a part of bandwidths for handoff calls to its adjacent cells and this reserved bandwidth can be used for handoff call prior to new connection requests. If the number of free channels is also under a low threshold value, our scheme use a load-balancing algorithm with a adaptive bandwidth reservation. In order to evaluate the performance of our algorithm, we measure the metrics such as the blocking probability of new calls and dropping probability of handoff calls, and compare with other existing schemes.

In this paper, we propose an efficient seamless handoff scheme to minimize packet loss and unnecessary packets on the Internet using the peculiar mobility characteristics of public vehicles such as trains. MR (Mobile Router) in a train visits each AR (Access Router) in the fixed order. As the MR detects reachability to the NAR (Next Access Router) on the new link, the PAR (Previous Access Router) can directly deliver packets from MR's HA (Home Agent) to the NAR according to the HML (Handoff Mobile router List). Then. the NAR buffers them until the MR finishes L3 (Layer 3) handoff procedure with the NAR. Therefore, our scheme can support a seamless handoff without the packet loss and unnecessary packets on the Internet. The result of our performance evaluation has shown that the proposed scheme could provide excellent performance, compared with the NEMO basic support protocol and the Bi-casting protocol.

Traditionally, simulation method was used to test and evaluate the performance of communication protocol or functional elements for mobile communication service. In this Paper, PCSsim(Personal Communication System Simulator) was realized that can evaluate and review the call process of mobile communication service or to predict its performance by using the object-oriented simulation platform. PCSsim can simulate the base station and mobile host by considering the user's mobility, call generation rate and call duration time. In this paper, based on the simulation, presented the simulation results of hand-off generation ratio according to call generation, user's moving speed and call duration time both in residence area and commercial area, and it was confirmed that the hand-off rates in simulation and actual service environment have similar features. PCSsim can be used in adjusting the characteristics of base station fellowing the dynamic hand-off buffering or the characteristics of user's call in the design stage, and also can be used in building new mobile communication network by reflecting the characteristics of region where the base station is located and the mobility of the user.
