Proxy MIPv6 (PMIPv6) is that network-based mobility management protocol that network supports mobile node's mobility on behalf of the MN. In PMIPv6, when two MNs located within the same PMIPv6 domain want to communicate each other, sub-optimal path is established between the two MN. Route optimization method for PMIPv6 is proposed to resolve the problem. However, the method still suffer from the performance degradation due to out-of-sequence packet problem. In this paper, we propose the route optimization mechanism in PMIPv6 based on Flush message to resolve the out-of-sequence packet problem. The proposed mechanism is evaluated by performing simulations, and the simulation results show that the proposed one gives better performance.

HMIPv6 is designed to reduce the signaling load to external network and improve handover speed of MN by including Mobility Anchor Point(MAP) in local handover. However in this case of macro handover, it's just used pervious MIPv6 handover algorithm. So, it occurs packet loss and transmission delay problem. In this paper, we propose the mechanism applying the HMIPv6 for Fast Handover to choose suitable to the condition buffering handover. The condition for the selection is result distance measurement between MN and CN, between MN and NAR. Furthermore, using F-SNOOP protocol, it is possible to improve wireless network performance. Wireless network has high Bit Error Rate(BER) characteristic because of path loss, fading, noise and interference. TCP regards such errors as congestion and starts congestion control. This congestion control makes packet transmission rate low. However, F-SNOOP improves TCP performance based on SNOOP and Freeze TCP that use Zero Window Advertisement(ZWA) message when handoff occurs in wireless network.

Recently, Proxy Mobile IPv6(PMIPv6) networks have been studied as the mobility management protocol to effectively use limited wireless resources. And the multicasting, which is core technology of the Internet broadcast system such as mobile IPTV, has been discussed mainly based on PMIPv6 network. However, multicasting based on PMIPv6 network causes disconnection of services because it does not solve problems of packet loss during binding and group joining procedure. Hence, we propose a seamless multicast scheme which prevents packet loss in PMIPv6 networks. The proposed scheme achieves lower latency than the existing scheme because it combines binding and group joining procedure, a1so it does not cause about packet losses due to performing buffering. We proved the performance using the simulations.

Development of high-speed Internet services and the increased supply of mobile devices have become the key factor for the acceleration of ubiquitous technology. WiBro system, formed with lP backbone network, is a MBWA technology which provides high-speed multimedia service in a possibly broader coverage than Wireless LAN can offer. Wireless telecommunication environment needs not only mobility support in Layer 2 but also mobility management protocol in Layer 3 and has to minimize handover latency to provide seamless mobile services. In this paper, we propose a fast cross-layer handover scheme based on signal strength prediction in WiBro environment. The signal strength is measured at regular intervals and future value of the strength is predicted by Exponential Smoothing Method. With the help of the prediction, layer-3 handover activities are able to occur prior to layer-2 handover, and therefore, total handover latency is reduced. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme predicts that future signal level accurately and reduces the total handover latency.

Data multicasting from a source to multiple sinks in wireless sensor networks is used to achieve both reducing communication costs and energy efficiency. Almost all existing schemes for the multicasting might be effectively performed by optimal construction of a multicasting tree between a source and multiple stationary sinks. However, in practical sensor applications, sinks could move around on the wireless sensor networks for own missions, such as scouting of soldiers and saving lives of victims by firefighters. Unfortunately, the sink mobility causes frequent entire reconstruction of the multicasting tree and thus it leads to exhaustion of battery power of sensors. Hence, we propose an energy-efficient multicast protocol to support multiple mobile sinks by the local multicast tree reconstruction, called Local Update-based geographic Multicasting for Mobile sinks (LUMM) for wireless sensor networks. Our simulation results show that our scheme for mobile sinks is more efficient in terms of energy resource management than other exist works.

HMIPv6 improved the handover management of basic MIPv6 by introducing the new protocol agent MAP. In this new protocol, MAP instead of the Mobile Node intercepts all packets and redirects the packets to CoA of the Mobile Node. However, this process may degrade the network performance due to the centralization phenomenon of registration occurring in the hierarchical MAP structure. ffe propose two schemes to improve real time traffic performance. First proposal is a MAP selection mettled in which MAP is selected based on traffic characteristics. And we also propose differentiated traffic processing scheme with multi-level queues when Home Agent or Correspondent Nodes process Binding Update messages. Performances of the proposed scheme are analyzed. Analysis result shows that our model has good performance in the respect of location update cost and total cost of Mobile Nodes.

IETF's FMIPv6 protocol enables a mobile node to switch to the reactive mode of handover operation when the prediction of the movement is incorrect. In this case, the mobile node may experience severe service disruption due to large handover latency and packet loss. In order to solve this problem, we propose a fast mobile IP handover with multiple pre-registrations. In the proposed approach, the new temporary IP addresses are prepared in advance at multiple locations where the mobile node may probably move into. In this case, even though the prediction is wrong, the mobile node can move into the alternative locations without causing service disruption. We have designed and implemented a prototype system, and measured the performance of the proposed system. The experimental results show that the proposed approach can reduce the handover latency drastically.

IETF has proposed Fast Handovers for Mobile IPv6 (FMIPv6) for efficient mobility management, FMIPv6 has no solutions to protect binding updates. Previous researches have mainly concentrated on using AAA, public cerificates or cryptographic algorithms to secure binding updates. However the approaches need a particular infrastructure or a heavy processing cost to setup secure associations for handovers. Proposed scheem provides authentication for FMIPv6 without infrasturcture and costly cryptographic algorithms by extending Return Routability Protocol. Also proposed scheme is oble to be used for various existing handover mechanisms in IPv6 network.

와이브로(WiBro), 3G 무선인터넷(HSDPA), 3G LTE 등과 같은 와이어리스 브로드밴드(Wireless Broand) 기술이 점차 성숙됨에 따라 이들 망을 활용한 다양한 무선인터넷 서비스를 제공하려는 사업자들이 증가하고 있다. 기존의 WLAN, 2G/3G 회선망에서의 제한된 이동성 및 네트워크 전송 속도를 개선한 와이어리스 브로드밴드 서비스 시장은 국내에서도 2006년부터 WiBro 및 HSDPA가 사용됨에 따라 사업자간의 경쟁도 본격화되고 있다. 이러한 환경 속에서 사업자들은 신속하고 편리한 서비스 개통과 스마트폰, USB모뎀, 노트북, UMPC, PMP등 다양한 단말들의 펌웨어 업그레이드, A/S 처리 방안에 대해 고심을 하고 있으며, 이들 문제점은 막대한 비용과 고객 민원을 야기시키는 요인이기도 하다. 따라서 경제적인 관리비용으로 동적인 서비스/펌웨어 업그레이드 및 A/S에 대한 고객 만족도를 높이기 위한 단말 원격 관리 필요성이 절실히 요구된다. WiBro 단말의 안전하고 효율적으로 관리하기 위해서는 단말과 기지국사이의 무선구간에 대한 보안(security)을 강화시켜 줄 수 있으면서 이동성(mobility)을 고려한 OMA DM프로토콜을 이용하는 것이 적합하다. 또한, WiBro에서 가입자 인증을 채택하고 있는 UICC의 관리를 위해서 3GPP에서 정의하는 SMS/MMS기반의 또는 BIP(Bear Independent Protocol)기반의 OTA기술을 병행하여 사용하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 Wi-MAX단말 관리를 위한 OTA Provisioning 규격으로 OMA DM과 TR069이 WiMAX 단말을 위하여 어떻게 적용하도록 규정하고 있는지를 살펴본다. 특히, WiBro 가입자 인증뿐만 아니라 폰북, DRM, 금융서비스 등 다양한 부가 서비스를 위하여 사용되는 UICC의 원격관리를 위한 관리 요소들을 정의, 설계하고 이를 바탕으로 구현된 KTUICC OTA Provisioning시스템을 소개한다.

Cloud computing emerges as a new computing paradigm which targets reliable and customizable services. The term builds on decades of research in virtual machine, distributed and parallel computing, utility computing, and more recently networking, web service, and software as a service. In this paper, we provide a seamless connection migration of web services. This is useful for cloud computing environment in which many client terminals have mobility. With the wireless internet facility, those mobile users can move place to place during internet communication. Therefore, we provide solutions to the two major problems in current virtualization based migration: communication failure problems and connection re-establishment. Communication channel flushing by zero window notification helps to resolve the communication failure problems and TCP port inheritance prevents connection re-establishment errors during socket reconstruction. Thus, our web service migration facility is now able to preserve open network connections, and even for server sockets. This is a highly transparent approach, in that we did not Introduce additional messages for channel flushing and did not make any modification to the TCP protocol stack. Experimental results show that the overhead due to connection migration of web services is almost negligible when compared with time to take the conventional web service migration.
