미래의 통합 이동 통신망은 멀티미디어 데이터 서비스를 하기 위해 작은 셀로 망이 구성될 것이다. 셀이 작은 경우, 이동 호스트의 셀간 이동이 상대적으로 증가해서 잦은 핸드오프 처리로 서비스 중단이 빈번히 발생할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 자원의 낭비도 많아지게 된다. 따라서 이런 문제를 해결하기 위해 이동 호스트의 이동성을 예측해서 멀티캐스트 연결을 구성해서 사전 핸드오프 처리를 하는 SGMH방법을 제안한다. SGMH방법의 성능 평가를 위해 핸드오프 처리과정의 데이터 및 제어 정보의 흐름을 분석하고, 망 종속 인자들을 도입해서 버퍼 오버헤드와 서비스 중단 시간 면에서 기존 핸드오프 방법들과 비교했다. 비교 분석한 결과는 제안한 방법이 기존의 방법보다 기지국에서의 버퍼 오버헤드뿐만 아니라 서비스 중단 시간을 줄일 수 있음을 보였다.Abstract For mobile multimedia data services, future mobile communication networks will consist of small cells. In case of smaller cell size, the number of user movements between cells will increase and more network resources will be consumed for processing frequent handoffs. This processing delay will cause frequent connection service disruptions. To solve these problems, a multicast-based handoff method ,called SGMH(Sub-Group Multicast-based Handoff), is suggested. SGMH method estimates future movements of mobile hosts and setups a dynamic multicast connection tree for procesing handoffs. For performance evaluation, we represent flows of data and control messages as timing diagrams and introduce several network related factors. In terms of buffer overhead and service disruption time we compared the SGMH method to other methods. The results show that SGMH method has better performance in that it can reduce consumption of network resources and minimize service disruption time.

A multicast session protocol in wireless networks reduces the session delay of multicast delivery caused by moving of mobile host. A hand-off scheme, called MSDR (multicast session delay reduction), in mobile networks is proposed. MSDR protocol that minimizes the delay of a session re-establishment uses the basic unicast routing function of the IETF mobile IP and the DFA (designated foreign agent) to provide multicast services for mobile hosts. Proposed MSDR protocol allows the mobile hosts to continuously receive packets when they move across the basic sets during hand-off. Discrete-event simulation carried out for performance evaluation of MSDR protocol, and simulation results indicated that our scheme can offer a better performance of multicast session delay reduction in terms of signalling cost than that of IETF.

In this paper, we propose a multicast routing protocol for the seamless delivery of multicast data to mobile hosts through the optimal route in IPv6-Based mobile networks. The proposed multicast routing protocol reduces the tree reconstruction overhead by limiting the tunneling length according to the mobility of mobile hosts. In this way, our protocol satisfies the bound of the end-to-end delay and supports the seamless handoff. Analytical and simulation results show that the proposed protocol has better performance in terms of the tree reconstruction, tunneling service and multicast packet loss than the previous protocols does.

Micro-mobility protocols have been developed to reduce the control message overhead due to movements of mobile nodes. With the spread of mobile devices, services using mobile nodes are increasing and multicast services are becoming more important in providing multimedia services. In this paper we propose a new multicast protocol suitable for micro-mobility environments. The proposed protocol is designed to maintain optimal multicast routing paths and continue to provide multicast services without disruption in spite of frequent handoffs due to movements of mobile nodes. We used simulation to evaluate the proposed protocol, compared its performance with existing multicast protocols for mobile environments including bi-directional tunneling, remote subscription, and MMA, and observed that the proposed protocol exhibited better performance in terms of transmission success ratio and overhead on the network.

This paper proposes a seamless handoff scheme that enables a mobile node to continue a session when moving to an overlapping area. During handoff due to the weakness of signaling, mobile node makes new Care-of Addresses using signals received from access router when MN reaches the edge of its area in addition to its current CoA, and it sends temporary binding update messages to Mobility Anchor Point which manage the area covering MN. MAP receives that binding update messages from MN, and temporarily stores new binding informations from them to its binding cache besides existing binding information for MN. This scheme ensures a seamlessly handoff using multicasting until MN enter a new access router area and sends a confirmed binding update message to MAP.

Proposed CCRSVP (Candidate Casting RSVP) algorithm is a new fast handoff method which uses advanced multicasting method and RSVP for IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN (WLAN) environments. The proposed algorithm shows good performance in the handoff latency and the B/W efficiency aspect and guarantees QoS because it uses L2 information (BSSID) of WLAN and starts to reserve resources and multicast packets before L2 handoff completes. We also propose a Markov chain performance analysis model in which we can analyze the handoff performance of various handoff algorithms. Using the model, we compare bandwidth efficiency of the proposed algorithm with existing handoff algorithms which use RSVP by analyzing blocking probability of session, resource usage, and the average number of ongoing session in a cell. The results show that the proposed algorithm shows better performance than the existing algorithms in the above three performance aspects.

We present a new MDA-based Mobile-IPv6 multicast routing algorithm for wirelese service operators to offer Mobile-IP over IMT-2000 service under IMT-2000 network by taking advantage of the existing infrastructure for IMT-2000 multimedia application services. The extended IMT-2000 system architectures use an PDSNs (i.e. IWFs), and the home network (i.e. Internet) backbone and intermediate network are composed of ATM entities. A key feature of the new protocol is the use of MDA(Multicast Delivery Agent) to reduce delivery path length of the multicast datagram. We show that proposed protocol is efficient in terms of various performance measures such as multicast traffic load, multicast related handoff, and average routing length when we implement it using the Mobile-IPv6. Particularly, the number of tunneling and average routing length of datagram are reduced relatively, the multicast traffic load is also decreased.

차세대 인터넷은 유.무선이 혼합된 초고속의 네트워크 구조에서 사용자가 시간과 장소에 관계없이 실시간 멀티미디어 서비스를 제공받을 수 있는 환경으로 변화될 것이다. 이 변화에 잘 대응하기 위해서는 이동하는 사용자에게 효율적으로 멀티캐스팅을 지원할 필요가 있다. Mobile IP 기반의 이동 네트워크 환경에서 멀티캐스팅을 지원하기 위만 연구는 크게 HA(Home Agent)기반 방식과 FA(Foreign Agent)기반 방식으로 연구되어 왔다. HA기반 방식은 데이터 전송 경로의 비최적화, 비효율적인 데이터 중복 전송의 문제를 가지고, FA기반 방식은 빈번한 멀티캐스트 전송 트리의 재구성으로 인한 오버헤드의 문제를 내포하고 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 MH(Mobile Host)의 잦은 핸드오프(handoff) 문제를 해결하고, 멀티캐스트 전송 트리의 재구성으로 인한 오버헤드를 줄이는 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 계층적 트리 구조의 도메인을 구성하고 MFA(Multicast Forwarding Agent)와 홉 카운터로 정의된 MFA의 서비스 범위를 사용한다. 또한, MFA를 Root FA들 중에서 선택함으로써 멀티캐스트 전송 트리 재구성의 회수를 줄여 Mobile IP를 이용하는 MH에게 효과적인 멀티캐스팅을 제공한다.

This paper proposes an efficient micro mobility scheme to support user mobility inside an access network which employs Ipv6. The proposed scheme, namely SMM(Sparse-mode Multicast for mobility), utilizes a class of multicast protocol, PIM-SM, in the visited access network to reduce signaling to the home agent as well as to the correspondent node and to minimize packet loss during the handoff when mobile user changes its point of attachment frequently. Through the simulation, the performance of the proposed SMM is analyzed and compared with those of Mobile nv6 and for the case which adpots PIM-DM. The result shows that SMM provides significantly better performance in terms of packet loss that is invariant to transmission rate and packet size.
