Fast handover is essential to support seamless multicast service in MIPv6. To reduce handover latency of multicast, there are two handover mechanisms, one is M-FMIP that prepares fast L3 handover before L2 handover and the other is M-HMIP that performs local area mobile multicast management. This paper proposes M-FHMIP that integrates an advantage of M-FMIP and M-HMIP, and analyzes the multicast handover latency.

In this paper fast mobile multicast handover mechanism based on IEEE 802.21 MIH (Media Independent Handover) is proposed. We solve long multicast handover delay time caused by L3 movement detection mechanism of the existing mobile multicast methods. The proposed architecture adopts multicast manager concept to MIH framework in order to efficiently perform mobile multicast handover, and adds the new MIH messages dedicated for mobile multicast. Since multicast channel zapping operations of mobile users effectively make a mobile terminal handover, the architecture should consider the situations. Multicast network selection algorithm is designed by means of terminal speed and fair selection algorithm named AHP/GRA. Finally the performance of the proposed architecture against the legacy mobile multicast mechanisms is evaluated in terms of signaling cost and multicast handover delay time.

Since the wireless technologies based on the IP have been developed recently, a variety of mobile services has been proposed. For broadcasting services to utilize network resources efficiently, there is a need to support handover of multicast traffic in mobile networks. In this paper, we add a network function block to solve the tunnel convergence problem, and propose a new fast handover scheme to reduce handover latency for PMIPv6 networks with multicast function. With the simulation result, we show that our fast handover scheme has better performance than the draft in the IETF in the viewpoint of handover latency and multicast service disruption.

Multicast service will be required to be an important form of communication without interruption to the delivery of multicast service in mobile networks increasing MNs. In this paper, we review current status of PMIPv6(Proxy Mobile IPv6) multicast listener support being standardized in the IETF and point out limitations of the current approach and we proposed a fast multicast handover procedure in inter domain PMIPv6 network of network-based mobility management. The proposed Fast multicast handover procedure in inter domain optimizes multicast management by using the context of the MNs. We evaluate the proposed fast multicast handover procedure compared to the based one through the developed analytical models and confirm that introduced fast multicast handover procedure provides the reduced service interruption time and total network overhead compared to the based one during handovers.

The multi user communications that is called as the multicast service should be applied into the evolving mobile networks. In this paper, we propose a fast multicast management scheme for mobile terminals in HMIPv6 (Hierarchical Mobile IPv6) based mobile networks. In HMIPv6 based mobile networks, we consider the mobile terminal mobility that the multicast management scheme during mobile handover is used for the multicast routing changing. The changing impact to the multicast routing Is determined from handovers in intra AR, and in inter AR or MAP. In this paper, we propose multicast supporting schemes that the tunneling scheme is used in intra AR handover, and the previous subscription scheme is used in inter AR handover for considering the changing impact of the multicast routing.

This paper proposes an efficient multicast scheme for the hierarchical mobile IPv6(HMIPv6). If a mobility anchor point(MAP) in a new domain does not support multicasting, an entering group member cannot join the multicast group through the new MAP The group member thus keeps receiving multicast packets from its home agent(HA) using Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6). This increases the propagation delay of binding update (BU) messages. However, our scheme enables an entering group member to keep receiving packets from the old multicast MAP. It can also reduce tunneling costs, total delivery costs and handover latency. We simulated the performance of our scheme by comparing it with the seamless multicast handover in a hierarchical mobile Pv6 (M-HMIPv6) using the delivery cost and handover latency factors.

Fast handover protocol provides seamless handover in mobile Ipv6 networks by reducing handover latency. This paper proposes FMIP-M mechanism to apply this advantage of fast handover protocol to multicast service. The FMIP-M is a fast handover mechanism that supports a reliable multicast service in mobile Ipv6 networks. When hosts move other networks, they may have seine data missing and out-of-synch problems of multicast data. The proposed mechanism provides reliable multicast transmission by compensating data losses from the previous AR. Also it provides an additional function that is able to change multicasting service types dynamically in accordance with network status related with multicasting. So that it is able to make multicast paths very close to the optimum and more efficient multicast service is possible. The performance of the proposed mechanism is evaluated by a time analysis and simulations in various conditions.

In this paper, we propose a handover scheme for seamless mobile multicast service in next generation access networks. For this, we drew optimum handover scheme when applying MIP(mobile IP), FMIP(Fast MIP), HMIP(Heterogeneous MIP), PMIP(Proxy MIP) to XG-PON1. And, we analyze handover scheme for seamless mobile multicast service in XG-PON1. The prosed handover scheme remove tunnel convergence and reduces handover delay, packet delivery cost.

With the recent advancements in various wireless communication technologies, the importance of mobile multicasting is coming to the fore, in an effort to use network resources more efficiently. In the past, when various mobile IP-based multicast techniques were proposed, the focus was put on the costs needed for network delivery for providing multicast services, as well as on minimizing the multicast handover delay. For techniques using MIPv6 (Mobile IPv6), a host-based mobility management protocol, however, it is fundamentally difficult to resolve the problems of handover delay and tunnel convergence. To resolve these problems, a network-based mobility management protocol called PMIPv6 (Proxy Mobile IPv6) was standardized. Although performance is improved in PMIPv6 over MIPv6, it still suffers from the problems of handover delay and tunnel convergence. In this paper, to overcome these limitations, a technique called LFH (Low-cost and Fast Handoff) is proposed for fast and low-cost mobility management with multicasting support in PMIPv6 networks. To reduce the interactions between the complex multicast routing protocol and the multicast messages, a simplified proxy method called MLD (Multicast Listener Discovery) is implemented and modified. Furthermore, a TCR (Tunnel Combination and Reconstruction) algorithm was used in the multicast handover procedure within the LMA (Local Mobility Anchor) domain, as well as in the multicast handover procedure between domains, in order to overcome the problem of tunnel convergence. As a result, it was found that LFH has reduced multicast delay compared to other types of multicast techniques, and that it requires lower costs as well.

Recently, as the use of mobile terminal is generalized, the needs of high-speed Internet mobile service is increased. Also users want to receive the multimedia contents what they want through the various terminals in anywhere, anytime via wired and wireless integrated environment. Therefore, various mechanisms that support the mobility are proposed. However, these mechanisms are difficult to support seamless mobility and QoS awareness on the mobile multicast environment. In this paper, we propose a QoS aware handover mechanism that is able to provide the high-quality and real-time services such as mobile IPTV in an integrated environment for these requests of users. Proposed mechanism manages the multicast admission control and multicast handover using the 2-layer multicast information management at the wired and wireless integrated network that extended the service guaranteed methods through the probing based admission control of the wired network to the wireless network based on PMIPv6. We present a performance evaluation results and features analyzed by the simulations using the ㎱-2.
