WiBro (Wireless Broadband) service, developed in Korea, can provide the host mobility while its users hang around within the subnet. Next-generation Internet protocols, IPv6 and Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6), provide a plenty of addresses to the nodes and enable the handover between different subnets. However, MIPv6 is not enough to support a real time service such as VoIP (Voice over IP) due to the long latency, and it is necessary to develop an enhanced handover mechanism which is optimized to the WiBro networks. In this paper, we suggest an improved fast handover mechanism while the mobile node moves around WiBro networks. The proposal is based on Fast Mobile IPv6 (FMIPv6) which is the representative protocol for fast handover, and reduces the handover latency by the close interaction between the link layer (WiBro MAC) and IP layer (FMIPv6). Finally, we analyze the performance of proposed mechanism through the mathematical analysis.

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.

With several enhanced access technologies, users have many changes to select their preference access network. There are great differences between access technologies, users' need to handover from one access network to another is getting bigger. As users' need grows there are several works to archive fast handover between heterogeneous and homogeneous access networks. However traditional handover mechanisms work only on L2 or L3 have several limits that prevent fast and heterogeneous handover. To overcome those limits, IEEE 802.21 WG and IRTF MOBOPTS RG are working for developing handover mechanisms that uses L2 information on theupper layers like L3. This paper introduces two new L2 information and properties can be used to archive fast handover of mobile nodes.

The SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) implementation with the DAR (Dynamic Address Reconfiguration) extension is called the mSCTP (Mobile SCTP) that is proposed recently for mobility support in transport layer. The mSCTP does not satisfy short handover latency for real-time applications and it has no specific handover decision mechanisms. In this paper, we propose fast handover schemes for mobile nodes that are moving into different subnet using pre-acquisition RA (Router Advertisement) and L3 trigger for improving handover performance. Furthermore, we introduce three specific methods which are RA cache, FMIPv6 (Fast Handovers for Mobile IPv6) and dual interface and how proposed scheme can be interoperated with handover process respectively. Finally, we show two experimental results which are the mSCTP and the mSCTP using FMIPv6 on Linux platforms. Experimental results show that handover performance is improved with reducing the time of receiving RA which takes most of total handover latency.

Several mobility supporting protocols have been proposed across OSI reference layers. Each protocol has similar or different characteristics based on its operating layer which affect a handover latency. In this paper, we analyze handover performance of most representative protocols in each layer. For analysis, we use SUBNET model based Markovian model and movement model. In result, difference of protocol handover latency is not occurred by DAD but also by security, movement detection, message processing time.

This paper proposes a SDN based Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) architecture for heterogeneous vehicular networks (SDN-VANET), to provide the continuity of service during the horizontal handovers and to reduce the delay during vertical and horizontal handovers. SDN-VANET mainly relies on DSRC road side units (RSUs) for V2I communication and to overcome the coverage problem SDN-VANET performs the vertical handover between DSRC and LTE/UMTS. To date there is no standard to perform network layer vertical handovers. Therefore the proposed SDN-VANET architecture also doesn't provide any mechanism for vertical network layer handovers, but solves the horizontal network layer handovers in DSRC or LTE/UMTS through introducing PMIPv6 in the architecture.

Mobile IP는 단말에게 이동성을 제공해 줌으로써 이동하면서도 인터넷에 접속할 수 있게 해준다. 하지만 L2 연결과 L3 연결이 순차적으로 진행되어 핸드오버시 지연과 데이터 로스의 문제가 발생한다. 이러한 핸드오버 과정에서 발생하는 지연과 데이터 로스를 줄이기 위해 L2 트리거를 이용한 Fast Handover 기술이 개발되었지만 Fast Handover 기술 역시 L2 연결과 L3 연결이 독립적으로 진행된다. 본 논문에서는 Mobile IP의 L3 핸드오버 과정과 이기종 네트워크들의 L2 핸드오버 과정을 통합하고 핸드오버 과정을 최적화하여 성능 개선된 핸드오버 방안을 제안하고 성능평가를 통해 우수함을 보인다.

Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 (HMIPv6) has been proposed by Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to compensate for such problems as handover latency and signaling overhead in employing Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6). HMIPv6 supports micro-mobility within a domain and introduces a new entity, namely mobility anchor point (MAP) as a local home agent. However, HMIPv6 causes load concentration at a particular MAP and longer handover latency when inter-domain handover occurs. In order to solve such problems, this paper establishes a virtual domain (VD) of a higher layer MAP and proposes a MAP changing algorithm in which the routing path changes between mobile node (MN) and correspondent node(CN) according to the mobile position and the direction of the MN before inter-domain handover occurs. The proposed algorithm not only enables complete handover binding-update of the on-link care of address (LCoA) only when inter-domain handover occurs, but concentrated load of a particular MAP is distributed as well. This is because the MNs registered with higher layer MAP and lower layer MAP coexist in the VD. We simulate the performance of the proposed algorithm and compare with HMIPv6.

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.

For the successful deployment of Mobile Internet, fast handover technologies are essential. For the past few years several handover mechanisms are suggested, and Fast Handover for Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PFMIPv6) is one of the promising schemes for this purpose. In this paper, we propose a novel L2/L3 cross layer handover scheme based on ARIMA prediction model to apply PFMIPv6 to Mobile Internet environment effectively. Performance gains are evaluated in terms of probabilities of predictive-mode operation, handover latencies, packet loss probabilities, and signaling costs. Three mobilities models are used for our simulation: Manhattan Model, Open Area Model, and Freeway Model. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can increase probabilities of predictive-mode operation and reduce handover latency, packet loss probabilities, and signaling cost.
