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.

Handover is very important to support the mobility of user because wireless ATM networks have smaller cell size such as micro/pico cell for broadband mobile multimedia service In this paper, we propose dynamic path reservation handover scheme for fast inter-MSC (Mobile Switching Center) handovers To reduce the handover delay for connection re-routing, the proposed scheme reserves virtual channels from nearest common node to neighbor MSC in advance Especially, our handover scheme predicts the number of inter-MSC handover calls at each period by the prediction algorithm and reserve virtual channels The simulation and analysis results show that our scheme reduce handover complexity and has higher reservation channel utilization, compared with DVCT scheme.

Since low earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations have important advantages over geosynchronous earth orbit (GEO) systems such as low propagation delay, low power requirements, and more efficient spectrum allocation due to frequency reuse between satellites and spotbeams, they are considered to be used to complement the existing terrestrial fixed and wireless networks in the evolving global mobile network. However, one of the major problems with LEO satellites is their higher speed relative to the terrestrial mobile terminals, which move at lower speeds but at more random directions. Therefore, handover management in LEO satellite networks becomes a very challenging task for supporting global mobile communication. Efficient and accurate methods are needed for LEO satellite handovers between the moving footprints. In this paper, we propose a new seamless handover management scheme for LEO satellites (SeaHO-LEO), which utilizes the handover management schemes aiming at decreasing latency, data loss, and handover blocking probability. We also present another interesting handover management model called satellite mobility pattern based handover management in LEO satellites (PatHO-LEO) which takes mobility pattern of both satellites and mobile terminals into account to minimize the handover messaging traffic. This is achieved by the newly introduced billboard manager which is used for location updates of mobile users and satellites. The billboard manager makes the proposed handover model much more flexible and easier than the current solutions, since it is a central server and supports the management of the whole system. To show the performance of the proposed algorithms, we run an extensive set of simulations both for the proposed algorithms and well known handover management methods as a baseline model. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithms are very promising for seamless handover in LEO satellites.

Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 improves performance of Mobile IPv6 by managing Binding Update in terms of location, With improved handover delay, realization of delay-sensitive services (e,g, VoIP or video streaming) has become more persuadable, Comparing with Mobile IPv6, however, Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 brings security threats related to Local Binding Update to mobile network, In the RFC 4140, specific methods to authenticate Local Binding Update message are not explicitly presented. It is essential that design secure architecture to address problems related to authenticating Local Binding Update, Many secure suggestions for Local Binding Update, however, concentrate on infrastructure-based solutions such as AAA PKI. These approaches may cause scalability problem when the suggested solutions are applied to real network. Therefore we suggest authentication method that doesn't require infrastructure, In addition to authentication of Local Binding Update, our method also provides mobile node with power saving ability.

Hierarchical Mobile 1Pv6(HM1Pv6) have been proposed by IETF(Internet Engineering Task Force) beginning from Mobile 1Pv6 for mobility support in IP networks, however these researches relying on client based mobility support have not been drawn attention due to excessive consumption of wireless resources and long handover delay. In this paper, we propose the Router-based Binding Update(RBU) scheme to solve problems in existing client-based mobility support schemes. The router registers location information of mobile nodes through Neighbor Discovery protocol without additional codes for the RBU scheme to a terminal operated by existing HMlPv6. By using this the RBU scheme is designed so that it can support partial nupport based mobility and reduce handover latency rather than using HMIPv6. It is analysed and compared with existing HMIPv6 to verify efficiency of the RBU scheme. As a result, the RBU scheme has outperformed existing HMIPv6 by 15% in terms of macro handover delay especially when long delay on wireless links exists.

It is widely accepted that the coverage with high user densities can only be achieved with small cell such as micro- and pico-cell. The smaller cell size causes frequent handovers between cells and a decrease in the permissible handover Processing delay. This may result in the handover failure. in addition to the loss of some Packets during the handover. In these cases. re-transmission is needed in order to compensate errors, which triggers a rapid degradation of throughput. In this paper, we propose a new handover scheme in the next generation mobile communication systems, in which the handover setup process is done in advance before a handover request by predicting the handover cell based on mobile terminal's current position and moving direction. Simulation is focused on the handover failure rate and Packet loss rate. The simulation results show that our proposed method provides a better performance than the conventional method.

As the number of a smart phone user over the world surprisingly grows and a wireless Internet market expands, service requirement of a mobile terminal is increasing. However, because there is no consideration of mobility in the early standard step, it is difficult to expect to improve the service performance in handover procedure. This paper proposes a PFMIPv6 handover scheme by using probe request message and authentication message and by using buffering scheme in IEEE 802.11. In addition, we simulated this proposal scheme and verified that the proposed handover scheme is improved in terms of handover delay, and average FTP throughput during the handover period.

This paper analyzes problems of existing Mobile IP and redesigns component functions, and proposes handover method using LRS and BCS for handover performance improvement. When mobile node moves another domain, the proposed BCS recognizes its mobility. So, BCS manages mobile node's binding information and serves micro mobility. When handover occurs among domains, micro mobility enables using LRS, As BCS and LRS have buffering function, they can reduce packet loss by forwarding the buffered datagram. It's designed component is implemented in LINUX environment. And then, handover performance was evaluated by simulation. The results of proposed handover method are better than existing method in both transmission delay time and packet loss.

Inter-RNC(radio network controller) and inter-BSC(base station center) hard handovers involve rerouting. Thus additional delay time for the new bearer setup and reroute determination should be considered. For theses kinds of handovers we propose a new scheme and coined it as ICHP(Inter-Cluster Handover Prediction). When a call approaches a boundary cell of a cluster, ICHP prepares for the handover by performing resource reservations and reroute computation in advance. Performance analysis shows that ICHP provides faster handover and that it lowers the blocking probability.
