The aim of this study is to present the handover procedures and the performance comparisons of layered mobility management schemes for wireless mobile Internet. To investigate efficient mobility management schemes providing seamless information services in a mobile environment, this paper provided the detailed discussions of existing network layered mobility management scheme, including Mobile IPv4, Mobile IPv6, and new transport layer mobility management scheme, stream control transmission protocol (SCTP) based mobility architecture (SMA). Network simulator-2 (ns-2) was used to compare the performance between Mobile IPv6 and SMA in the wireless mobile Internet environment. Simulation results show that for typical network configuration and parameters, SMA has a lower handover latency, lower packet loss rate, and higher throughput than Mobile IPv6.

This paper proposes a L3 handover method to minimize packet loss for supporting service continuity to IMS Terminal which has a single WLAN interface. The existing IMS based handover solution is able to support handover between different access networks in case that a terminal has multiple interfaces. That is, WLAN terminals need multiple interfaces to connect with one or more access networks. This proposed method configures IP address for the terminal in target WLAN previously by using Candidate Access Router Discovery(CARD) mechanism. Also, in the proposed method, service continuity server performs L3 connection establishment in target WLAN and registration to IMS server instead of the terminal. And then session control mechanism based on SIP is performed to support service continuity. We analyzed handover latency and signaling cost in the proposed method and existing method to show the improved performance by the proposed method.

With the advances in wireless communication technologies, mobile users require to get seamless services anywhere and anytime. To relize these demands, network interworking and vertical handover are necessary between heterogeneous wireless access technologies with multi-interface mobile station. A lot of organizations are doing research on the network integration schemes based on loosely and tightly integrated architectures, and research on vertical handover schemes mainly based on Mobile IP in loosely integrated environments. But actually, the tightly integrated scheme can support more faster vertical handover because heterogeneous access networks are combined tightly. However, vertical handover schemes in tightly integrated environments are conceptually proposed without any detail signaling procedures. Therefore, this paper defines a tightly integrated architecture between UMTS and WLAN, and proposes a soft vertical handover signaling procedure. The proposed soft vertical handover scheme is evaluated by the OPNET simulator, and we confirm the proposed scheme can support seamless services.

The Fast Handover in Hierarchical Mobile IPv6(F-HMIPv6) scheme provides a seamless handover in mobile IP networks effectively. However, there is a problem that the mobile node can lose its connectivity to the previous access router because of a sudden degradation of the link quality during fast handover procedure. Additionally, in many cases, the mobile node does not have enough time to exchange messages during the fast handover procedure, especially in case of movement with high speed during handover. In this paper, we propose a modification to F-HMIPv6 that significantly reduces the time to exchange messages during fast handover procedure and thereby increases the probability which the F-HMIPv6 can perform the fast handover in predictive mode.

Proxy Mobile IP in IETF is a network-based mobility management scheme to solve the problem of host-based mobility management scheme, Mobile IP. PMIP shows the better performance in the aspect of mobility, but PMIP, as a legacy of Mobile IP based on "best effort service", lacks of consideration of QoS. In this thesis, a novel mobility support scheme is proposed for mobility and QoS support based on PMIP in MPLS networks.

Various schemes for mobility support are currently proposed in NGN. However the performance comparison of all existing schemes is not relatively examined as yet. Therefore, in this paper, we investigate the location registration and handover procedure of MIPv6, IP2, Q.MMF, IMS, compare and analyze the location registration time and cost and handover latency time using various performance parameters and simulation for the performance analysis. As a result of analysis, when Location Manager locates in the center of core network, IP2 showed better performance than other schemes.

LTE-Advanced network will form the high-speed IP backbone in collaboration with heterogeneous radio access networks for dynamic optimized resource utilization. In order to implement more innovative and attractive services such as U-Cloud streaming, LBS and mobile smart TV, a mobile terminal needs to support multiple sessions simultaneously. Efficient resource allocation schemes are necessary to maintain QoS of multiple sessions because service continuity may be defected by delay and information loss during handover. This paper proposes a resource allocation scheme to accommodate multiple sessions in a mobile terminal on handover period based on session priority mechanism. Simulation is focused on the forced termination probability of handover sessions. Simulation results show that our proposed method provides a better performance than the conventional method.

최근 들어 무선 IP 네트워크 환경 하에서 빠른 이동속도를 갖는 이동체를 위한 핸드오프 지원 관련한 기술들에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 기존의 유선 네트워크에 적용되는 IP 프로토콜에 이동성 지원을 위한 Mobile IP 프로토콜이 제안되었다. 이 Mobile IP는 이동성 지원이 가능하지만 핸드오버 시 많은 지연시간이 발생하고 데이터의 전송 시 홈 에이전트를 거쳐 데이터 패킷이 전달됨으로 인해 열차와 같은 빠른 이동성을 갖는 물체에서는 적용이 어렵다. 이러한 이동성 문제의 극복을 위해 다양한 Fast 핸드오프 기술들이 제안 및 연구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 Mobile IP를 기반으로 빠른 Handoff를 위한 여러 가지 Fast Handoff 방법들의 비교분석을 위해 성능평가를 위한 메트릭을 도출하고 이들에 대한 모델을 연구하였다.

This paper proposes low latency handover procedure for seamless connectivity and QoS support between wired (e.g. Ethernet) and wireless (e.g. WLAN, WiBro(802.16-compatible), CDMA) networks by the mobile-assisted and server-initiated handover strategy. It is assumed that the server decides the best target network considering network status and user preferences. In this algorithm a mobile terminal associates with the wireless link decided at the server In advance and receives CoA as well. When handover occurs without the prediction in wired networks, the server performs fast binding update using physical handover trigger through the MIH(media independent handover) function. As a result, a mobile terminal does not need to perform L2 and L3 handover during handover so that this procedure decreases handover latency and loss.

With significant development in wireless communication technologies, the needs to handover from one network to another have grown dramatically. Recently IETF developed MIPv6 and FMIPv6 which are used to handover between different access networks. These handover mechanisms have some known weaknesses. MIPv6 can not serve time-critical application because it causes long handover latency and packet loss. By these reasons, MIPv6 does not guarantee session continuity. FMIPv6 uses handover preparation phase to reduce DAD latency. However FMIPv66 still suffers from long handover latency, because it must perform binding update at the end of handover procedure. In this paper we propose new handover mechanism FMIPv6-PBU which eliminates binding update latency. The proposed mechanism has compatability with lagacy FMIPv6. In this paper propose FMIPv6-PBU handover procedure and explain its procedures and evaluate it with MIPv6 and FMIPv6.
