Whenever mobile node moves a new domain in multicast environments. Both handoff and join multicast group always occur. These procedures take a much of delay time and lost the packets in flight. Handoff delay is a significant factor fot the QoS of mobile node in mobile environments. In this paper. we propose a new handoff scheme which supports multicast and guarantees a low handoff delay in IPv6. The scheme makes adjacent subnets the member of multicast tree. After that, this eliminates packet loss and reduces the handoff delay time. Simulation shows that the proposed scheme takes a low delay and lower packet loss rate than the remote-subscription scheme.
