In this paper, we propose an end-to-end mobility management and TCP flow control scheme which considers different link characteristics for vertical handover environments. The end-to-end mobility management is performed by using SIP protocol. When a mobile node moves to a new network, it informs its movement of the correspondent node by sending SIP INFO message containing a new IP address which will be used in the new network. And then the corresponding node encapsulates all packets with the new IP address and sends them to the mobile node. in general, RTT of WLAN is shorter than RTT of cdma2000. when the MN moves from WLAN network to cdma2000 network, TCP retransmission timeout will be occurred in spite of non congestion situations. Thus, TCP congestion window size will be decreased and TCP throughput will be also decreased. To prevent this phenomenon, we propose a method using probe packets after handover to estimate a link delay of the new network. We also propose a method using bandwidth ratio of each network to update RTT. It is shown through NS-2 simulations that the proposed schemes can have better performance than the previous works.

본 논문은 WiMAX 와 WLAN 네트워크 간 빠른 핸드오버를 위한 이동성 관리 방안을 제안한다. 제안방안은 MPLS 네트워크 환경을 기반으로 하고, 공용 인증키로써 MA ID(Mobility Agent Identifier)를 할당하여 핸드오버 시 재인증(Re-authentication) 및 IP 재구성을 위한 시그널링 메시지를 간소화시킨다. 따라서 이동노드가 핸드오버 할 때마다 반복적으로 요구되는 두 동작에 대한 처리가 보다 신속히 이뤄지면서 핸드오버 지연 감소의 효과를 보인다. 제안방안에 의한 성능 향상을 검증하기 위해 수식을 이용하여 기존방안과 제안방안의 핸드오버 지연을 분석하였다. 그 결과 제안방안에서의 핸드오버 지연이 기존방안 보다 더 낮음을 확인하였다.

While network evolution toward all IP based wired and wireless converged network is on the move, services are being progressed into converged and complex services from simply coupled services, and telecommunication operators are developing new technologies which enable users to move between heterogeneous networks without discontinuity of a current service. In this paper, we propose a IP handover mechanism which reduces ping-pong effect during IP handover between WLAN and CDMA2000 1x EV-DO Rev.A neworks. We present stability and enhanced latency of the proposed IP handover mechanism by experimentation. The mechanism was developed under the 3rd phase of BcN project.

Most of the current mobility management protocols such as MIPv4/6 and its variants standardized by the IETF do not support global seamless handover. This is because they require comprehensive changes of the existing network infrastructure. In this article, we propose a simple mobility management protocol (SMMP) which can support global seamless handover between homogeneous or heterogeneous wireless networks. The idea is that the SMMP employs separate location management function as done in SIP to support global user and service mobility. In addition, the bidirectional tunnels are dynamically constructed to support seamless IP mobility by extending the IEEE 802.21 MIH standards. The detailed architecture and functions of the SMMP have been designed. Finally, the simulation results, using NS-2, show that the proposed SMMP outperforms the existing MIPv6 and HMIPv6 in terms of handover latency, packet loss, pear signal noise ratio (PSNR).

Currently, there are many efforts underway to provide Internet service on integrated wireless and wired networks. Supporting IP mobility is one of the major issues to construct IP based wireless network. Mobile IP has been proposed to solve the IP Mobility problem. But, in processing frequent handoffs in cellular based wireless access network, Micro mobility protocols have been proposed to solve these problems. Micro mobility protocols proposed the Cellular IP, HAWII, and Hierarchical Mobile IP. Cellular IP attracts special attention for it's seamless mobility support in limited geographical areas. New BS must be known to occur begging of handoff in Cellular IP indirect handoff. Therefore during perceiving of hanoff, packet loss or packet duplication still can occur in Cellular IP indirect handoff, which results in the degradation of UDP and TCP performance. In this paper, we propose a enhanced indirect handoff scheme for Cellular IP. Proposed handoff scheme is using a crossover node to minimize the signalling procedure and using a buffering to minimize the packet loss or packet duplication.

데이터 패킷 전송을 지원하는 인터넷망에서는 여러 부가 서비스를 제공할 수 있다. 그중 VoIP 는 킬러 에플리케이션이라고 주목받고 있다. 그러나 기존 회선교환망에서 제공하던 음성전송을 패킷망에서 제공할 경우 여러 문제점이 나타난다. 가장 큰 문제점은 서비스 품질면 즉 많은 유저들이 접속함으로써 일어나는 지연이다. 특히 핸드오프가 빈번한 도메인 환경에서는 접속자수가 증가함에 따라 품질저하는 더 크게 일어난다. Mobile IP 는 도메인내의 빈번한 핸드오프상에서는 많은 단점이 있다. HA(Home Agent)로 빈번하게 시그널을 보내기 때문에 많은 제어 메시지 오버헤드가 있으며, 핸드오프중의 많은 패킷 손실이 있다. Micro-mobility 프로토콜은 기존 mobile IP 의 단점을 보완하기 위해 나온 프로토콜이다. 무선 네트웍상의 도메인내에서의 이동성을 지원하며, 손실과 메시지 오버헤드를 줄여 핸드오프시 높은 성능향상을 주고, 효율적인 위치관리를 제공한다. 본 논문은 NS-2(Network Simulator-2)를 이용하여 여러 마이크로 모빌리티 프로토콜하에서 VoIP 를 운용하였을 때, 어느 프로토콜의 확장성이 우수한지를 비교하고, 빈번한 핸드오프시에 어느 프로토콜이 가장 효율적인지를 제시한다.

Recently, there are many efforts to support seamless mobility in 802.11 WLANs using IP Layer mobility protocols. The IP layer mobility protocols are the most efficient mechanism to guarantee the service session continuity when IP subnet is changed during handover. Even if the IP layer mobility protocols are quite efficient, the feature of the protocols that had been designed to consider only L3 layer makes it difficult to improve the performance of hand over more and more. Nowadays, to overcome this limitation of IP mobility protocols, many researchers have worked on the mobility protocols integration of different layers (e.g., L2 layer). In this paper, we propose the enhanced Proxy MIPv4 to minimize the latency of handover using MIH protocol in 802.11 WLANs. The proposed mechanism minimizes the latency of authentication by exchanging security keys between Access Routers during handover. Moreover, it also minimizes packet losses by Inter-AP Tunneling and data forwarding.

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.

This paper proposes a new handover scheme to minimize handover delay and signaling costs, using the fact that a new packet forwarding path could be same or similar to the old one in Mobile IPv4. In the proposed scheme a foreign agent estimates the correlation between the new and old routing paths by using routing costs after receiving a registration request message from a mobile node. If the new packet forwarding path could be same or similar to the old one, the mobile node can receive packets from its old foreign agent without registering its new location with its home agent or correspondent node. The performance analysis shows that the proposed scheme can efficiently reduce handover delay and signaling costs.

최근 인터넷기반의 멀티미디어 서비스의 발전에 힘입어 기존의 IP망을 코어 네트워크로 사용하는 이종망간의 통합서비스가 주를 이루고 있다. 이에 따른 사용자들의 요구로 고품질 멀티미디어 데이터 서비스 지원의 QoS와 멀티미디어 서비스를 끊김없는 이동성(Seamless Mobility)에 대해서 지원할 수 있는 핸드오버기법이 필수적이게 되었다. 이중 끊김없는 이동성 지원하기 위해 MIP(Mobile IP)기법이 제안되었고, 이를 향상시킨 FMIP(Fast Handover for. MIP), HMIP(Hierarchical MIP) 그리고 PMIP(Proxy MIP)까지 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 IMS망의 P-CSCF의 SIP프로토콜과 PMIP핸드오버 기법을 연동하는 PTSA(PMIP To SIP Agent)를 두어 IMS망에서 적용할 수 있는 향상된 PMIP 핸드오버 기법을 제안한다.
