This letter proposes a handover ranging power adjustment scheme to improve handover performance. Incorrect ranging power can degrade handover performance due to the increased handover latency; therefore, the proposed scheme exploits the uplink channel information to adjust the uplink handover ranging power. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme reduces call outage probability by 33% compared to that of the conventional scheme. It also improves the number of users who satisfy the system requirements for handover interruption time.

In this paper. we propose an adaptive handover scheme in wireless network The proposed handover scheme is a hybrid type of virtual path extension and rerouting. The proposed handover scheme chooses the virtual path management scheme according to the service QoS instead of the network topology which is used in the previous hybrid handover schemes. The proposed scheme supports the seamless service and small buffering during virtual path rerouting handover through the multicasting service. To evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme. we compute the number of signaling message used for handover and perform computer simulation. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme provides more efficiency in the handover delay and seamless service than the previous methods.

In the Host Identity Protocol (HIP), the existing host-based handover scheme tends to induce large handover delays and packet loss rates. To deal with this problem, we are proposing a network-based handover scheme for HIP in the mobile networks, in which the access routers of the mobile node will establish a handover tunnel and will perform the route optimization for data transmission. We also discuss how to extend the HIP Update message to use the proposed handover scheme. From ns-2 simulations, we can see that the proposed handover scheme can significantly reduce the handover delay and packet losses during handover, as compared to the existing handover schemes.

The handover area is the region where a call can be handled by the base stations in any of the adjacent cells, and handover duration time is viewed as the time an mobile station resides inthe handover area. In this paper, analytic model to estimate the distribution function(df) of the handover duration time is proposed. Based on the df of the handover duration time, the simulation and anlytic models for the First Come first Serve(FCFS) scheme are presented, and the simulation results for the Measurement Based Prioritization Scheme(MBPS) are compared with the analytic results of the FCFS handover scheme. Those results show that the MBPS scheme is seen to provide lower handover failures than FCFS queueing with slightly increasing the new call blocking probability.

본 논문은 유무선 복합망에서 이동 단말 기반 핸드오버의 링크 품질에 관한 성능 분석 결과를 제시한다. 기존의 방식은 이동 단말이 핸드오버를 요청 하였을 때 자원 확인 절차와 경로 재설정 절차를 망이 순차적으로 수행하는 방식임으로 망의 부하와 단말의 이동성에 기반하지 않는 고정적인 신호 수준으로 핸드오버를 요청함으로써 단말의 취소 문제를 유발할 수 있다. 그러나 제안된 방식은 이동 단말의 핸드오버 요청 시점을 예측하여 이동 단말이 핸드오버 요구 전에 자원 확인 절차를 선행하여 핸드오버 지연 시간을 감소하고 이동 단말이 망의 부하와 단말의 이동성에 기반하여 핸드오버를 요청함으로써 단말의 취소 문제 발생과 핸드오버 실패율(blocking probability)을 최소화 한다. 또한, 핸드오버 지연 시간 감소를 위해서 경로 최적화는 이동 단말이 핸드오버를 완료한 다음에 수행함으로써 역방향(backward) 링크 연결 실패율을 최소화하여 서비스의 중단을 최소화 한다. 본 논문에서는 이동 단말의 이동성을 고려한 핸드오버 요구 시점 예측과 결정 방법을 제시하고 이에 따른 상/하향 링크의 성능을 검증한다.

The constrained application protocol (CoAP) can be used for remotely controlling various sensor devices in Internet of Things (IoT) networks. In CoAP, to support the handover of a mobile sensor device, service discovery and message transmission needs to be repeated, although doing so would increase the handover delay significantly. To address this limitation of CoAP, a centralized CoAP scheme has been proposed. However, it tends to result in performance degradation for an inter-domain handover case. In this letter, we propose a distributed CoAP handover scheme to support the inter-domain handover. In the proposed scheme, a distributed mobility agent (DMA) is used for managing the location of mobile sensors in a domain and performing handover control operations with its neighboring DMAs in a distributed manner. A performance comparison reveals that the proposed scheme offers a performance improvement of up to 29.5% in terms of the handover delay.

본 논문에서는 기지국의 역할을 수행하는 드론을 기반으로 하는 무선 통신 시스템에서 주파수 효율 성능 향상을 위한 확률적 핸드오버 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 이동하는 드론 기지국이 지상에 위치한 사용자 단말에게 서비스를 제공하는 무선 네트워크 환경에서 드론 기지국과 사용자 단말 간 거리 및 소규모 페이딩을 고려하여 드론기지국들 간의 핸드오버를 수행한다. 또한, 제안하는 기법은 빈번한 핸드오버 수행 시 발생할 수 있는 시그널링 오버헤드를 완화하기 위해 드론 기지국들 간 핸드오버를 수행할 확률을 고려한다. 드론 기반 무선 통신 시스템에서의 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안하는 핸드오버 기법 및 기존 핸드오버 기법의 주파수 효율 성능 및 핸드오버 확률을 평가한다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 드론 기지국과 사용자 단말 간의 거리만을 고려한 기존의 핸드오버 기법보다 제안하는 핸드오버 기법에서 더 높은 평균 주파수 효율 성능이 나타남을 보인다.

This paper addresses the Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIP) handover using bicasting in mobile/wireless networks. The bicasting scheme can be used to support the PMIP handover, which tends to waste the network resources of wireless links and incurs data losses during handover. We propose an enhanced scheme of PMIP handover, called the partial bicasting with buffering for PMIP (PBB-PMIP). In the PBB-PMIP handover, the bicasting is performed in the "partial" region between the Local Mobility Anchor (LMA) and the Mobile Access Gateway (MAG), when a mobile node is in the handover area. The data packets are buffered at the new MAG during handover to reduce data losses and are then forwarded to mobile nodes after handover. By ns-2 simulations, the proposed PBB-PMIP scheme is compared with the existing schemes of PMIP and PMIP with bicasting. The proposed scheme can benefit from the reduction of handover delay and packet loss, and the effective use of the network resources of wireless links, as compared to the existing handover schemes.

Driven by the growing number of the mobile subscribers, efficient channel resource management plays a key role for provisioning multimedia service in the next generation personal communication systems. To reuse limited channel resources, diminishing the coverage areas of cells seems to be the ultimate solution. Thus, however, causes more handover events. To provide seamless connection environment for mobile terminals and applications, this article presents a novel handover scheme called the intelligent channel reservation (ICR) scheme, which exploits the location prediction technologies to accurately reserve channel resources for handover connections. Considering the fact that each mobile terminal has its individual mobility characteristic, the ICR scheme utilizes a channel reserving notification procedure (CRNP) to collect adequate parameters for predicting the future location of individual mobile terminals. These parameters will be utilized by the handover prediction function to estimate the expected handover blocking rate and the expected number of idle channels. Based on the handover prediction estimations, a cost function for calculating the damages from blocking the handover connections and idling channel resources, and a corresponding algorithm for minimizing the cost function are proposed. In addition, a guard channel decision maker (GCDM) determines the appropriate number of guard channels. The experimental results show that the ICR scheme does reduce the handover-blocking rate while keeping the number of idle channels small.
