Mobility support for mobile networks will be important to minimize the packet overhead, to optimize routing, to reduce handoff latency, and to reduce the volume of handoff signals. Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) and Hierarchical MIPv6 (HMIPv6) are one of mobility management protocols (MMPs) that provides network layer mobility over all access technologies. However, the communication quality of these candidates is severely degraded during handoffs. As another way to improve the handoff performance of a mobile network by conventional MMPs such as MIPv6 and HMIPv6, we propose a Low Latency Handoff Scheme (LLHS) combining Fast MIPv6 (FMIPv6) with HMIPv6 extension with buffering function, in which Mobility Anchor Points (MAPs) buffer packets destined to the Mobile Routers (MRs) or MNs within a mobile network during handoffs. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme reduces transmission delay and packet loss in UDP communication.

이동 장치의 발전과 인터넷의 급격한 성장에 따라, 호스트의 이동성을 제공하기 위해 IETF에서는 Mobile IPv6를 제안하였다. Mobile IPv6는 노드의 위치 및 이동성 관리를 통해 호스트에게 끊김없는 서비스를 제공하고자 한다. 그러나 Mobile IPv6에서는 노드가 이동하는 동안 데이터 통신을 할 수 없는 시간이 존재하게 되는데 이것을 핸드오버 지연 시간이라 한다. Mobile IPv6는 VoIP와 같은 지연 시간에 민감한 트래픽을 지원하기에는 핸드오버 지연 시간이 크다. FMIPv6는 이러한 지연 시간을 줄이고자 제안된 프로토콜로서 두 가지 모드, 즉 predictive 모드와 reactive 모드가 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 FMIPV6 구현을 통해 기존의 MIPv6와의 핸드오버 성능을 실제 테스트베드 네트워크에서 비교 분석하고자 한다. 실험 결과를 통해 reactive FMIPv6가 기존의 MIPv6보다 predictive FMIPv6가 reactive FMIPv6보다 더 좋은 성능을 보여준다는 것을 알 수 있다. 그리고. FMIPv6 역시 지연 시간에 민감한 트래픽을 지원하기에는 부족하다는 것을 보여준다.

Unlike host-based IPv6 mobility support protocols such as Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6), Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 (HMIPv6), and Fast handover for Mobile IPv6 (FMIPv6), Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) is expected to accelerate the real deployment of IPv6 mobility support protocol by using only collaborative operations between the network entities without mobile node (MN) being involved. In this paper, we analyze and compare the handover latency of network-based IPv6 mobility support protocol (i.e., PMIPv6) with the representative host-based IPv6 mobility support protocols such as MIPv6, HMIPv6, and FMIPv6. Analytical results show that the handover latency of PMIPv6 is considerably lower than those of MIPv6 and HMIPv6, and the handover latency of PMIPv6 becomes lower than that of FMIPv6 in case the wireless link delay is greater than the delay between mobile access gateway (MAG) and local mobility anchor (LMA).

With the recent advancements in various wireless communication technologies, the importance of mobile multicasting is coming to the fore, in an effort to use network resources more efficiently. In the past, when various mobile IP-based multicast techniques were proposed, the focus was put on the costs needed for network delivery for providing multicast services, as well as on minimizing the multicast handover delay. For techniques using MIPv6 (Mobile IPv6), a host-based mobility management protocol, however, it is fundamentally difficult to resolve the problems of handover delay and tunnel convergence. To resolve these problems, a network-based mobility management protocol called PMIPv6 (Proxy Mobile IPv6) was standardized. Although performance is improved in PMIPv6 over MIPv6, it still suffers from the problems of handover delay and tunnel convergence. In this paper, to overcome these limitations, a technique called LFH (Low-cost and Fast Handoff) is proposed for fast and low-cost mobility management with multicasting support in PMIPv6 networks. To reduce the interactions between the complex multicast routing protocol and the multicast messages, a simplified proxy method called MLD (Multicast Listener Discovery) is implemented and modified. Furthermore, a TCR (Tunnel Combination and Reconstruction) algorithm was used in the multicast handover procedure within the LMA (Local Mobility Anchor) domain, as well as in the multicast handover procedure between domains, in order to overcome the problem of tunnel convergence. As a result, it was found that LFH has reduced multicast delay compared to other types of multicast techniques, and that it requires lower costs as well.

MIPv6의 핸드오버 지연시간을 줄이는 많은 연구가 등장 하였고, 그 중 IEFT에서 표준화한 두 가지 프로토콜이 있다. 첫 번째 FMIPv6(Fast MIPv6) 프로토콜은 2계층 핸드오버 전에 3계층 핸드오버의 일부 과정은 사전에 수행함으로써 핸드오버 지연 시간을 줄이는 프로토콜이다. 두 번째 HMIPv6(Hierarchical MIPv6)는 일정한 범위를 커버할 수 있는 에이전트를 두어 이동성을 지역적으로 관리하여 핸드오버 지연시간을 줄이는 프로토콜이다. 본 논문에서는 FMIPv6에서 주로 사용하는 바인딩 갱신 프로토콜인 RR 프로토콜의 바인딩 갱신 절차를 줄임으로써 바인딩 갱신으로 생기는 시간을 단축시키는 방법을 제안한다.

In the existing literature, the handover process reveals numerous problems manifested by high movement detection latency. FMIPv6 can reduce packet loss using a tunnel-based handover mechanism. However, this mechanism may cause performance degradation due to the out-of-sequence packets. Recently. Proxy Mobile IPv6 is proposed for network-based mobility management to reduce overhead in mobile node. PMIPv6 can decrease handover latency which related overhead in MN by using network agent. In this paper, we proposed optimized fast handover scheme called Fast Proxy Mobile IPv6 (EF-PMIPv6). The proposed EF-PMIPv6 can support fast handover using fast IAPP and ND schemes. Further, a mathematical analysis is provided to show the benefits of our scheme. In the analysis, various parameters are used to compare our scheme with the current procedures, while our approach focuses on the reduction of handover latency.

With the increasing deployment of mobile devices and the advent of broadband wireless access systems such as WiBro, WiMAX, and HSDPA, an efficient IP mobility management protocol becomes one of the most important technical issues for the successful deployment of the broadband wireless data networking service. IETF has proposed the Mobile IPv6(MIPv6) as the basic mobilitymanagement protocol for IPv6 networks. To enhance the performance of the basic MIPv6, researchers have been actively working on HMIPv6 and FMIPv6 protocols. In this paper, we propose a new mobility management protocol, HIMIPv6 (Highly Integrated MIPv6), which tightly integrates the hierarchical mobility management mechanism of the HMIPv6 and the proactive handover support of the FMIPv6 to enhance the handover performance especially for the cellular networking environment with high frequent handover activities. We have performed extensive simulation study using ns-2 and the results show that the proposed HIMIPv6 outperforms MIPv6, FMIPv6 and HMIPv6 in terms of signaling overhead, service interruption and packet lost during handovers.

본 논문은 무선랜 환경에서 Mobile IPv6 Node가 이동 시에 발생하는 Handover Latency 를 줄이기 위한 새로운 알고리즘을 제안한다. 현재 Mobile IPv6 Fast Handover Protocol 은 Layer2 에서의 Handover 의 도움을 전제로 하기 때문에 실제 구현상에서 Real-time 이나Delay 에 민감한 Application 에 적용하기 어렵다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 무선랜에서 사용하는 Beacon 신호를 이용한 Dominant NAR 알고리즘을 적용하여 MIPv6 Fast Handover 과정을 선 처리하여 Handover Latency를 줄이고자 한다.

As the recent development of mobile technology, users want to multi-service in anytime, anywhere, any terminal. To meet the needs of users, it causes a lot of expense that redesign of the entire network or expand the network of services areas.

In this paper, we implement the fast handovers for mobile IPv6 (FMIPv6) on Linux system. Due to its dependency on operations in layer-2 (L2), we have added some functions into the network driver to generate triggers as the mobile node moves. We design and implement the FMIPv6 functions divided into two parts as an access router and a mobile node. We compare the packet loss and delay of the FMIPv6 implementation during the handover period with those of the MIPv6 and investigate the performance improvement.
