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.

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.

In heterogeneous wireless networks supporting multi-access services, selecting the best network from among the possible heterogeneous connections and providing seamless service during handover for a higher Quality of Services (QoSs) is a big challenge. Thus, we need an intelligent vertical handover (VHO) decision using suitable network parameters. In the conventional VHOs, various network parameters (i.e., signal strength, bandwidth, dropping probability, monetary cost of service, and power consumption) have been used to measure network status and select the preferred network. Because of various parameter features defined in each wireless/mobile network, the parameter conversion between different networks is required for a handover decision. Therefore, the handover process is highly complex and the selection of parameters is always an issue. In this paper, we present how to maximize network utilization as more than one target network exists during VHO. Also, we show how network parameters can be imbedded into IEEE 802.21-based signaling procedures to provide seamless connectivity during a handover. The network simulation showed that QoS-effective target network selection could be achieved by choosing the suitable parameters from Layers 1 and 2 in each candidate network.

In the heterogeneous system of various wired or wireless network with IP-based backbone, the continuities of agreedon QoS for multimedia services should be guaranteed regardless of network types and terminal mobility through seamless vertical handover. This paper proposes a QoS provisioning mechanism called D-ISHO which guarantees the continuities of agreed-on QoS and seamless for multimedia services by considering both such characteristics as delay, loss rate and jitter per each service and such status as available band-width, call arrival rate and data transmission rate during the vertical handover. Simulation is done for performance analysis with the measure of handover failure rate and packet loss rate.

UMTS-WLAN interworking approach can make the best use of the advantages of both networks by eliminating the stand-alone defects of the two services. For the interworking mechanisms of WLANs and UMTS networks, two major solutions have been proposed, namely loose coupling and tight coupling. The loose coupling approach provides separate data paths for WLAN and UMTS. On the other hand, the tight coupling provides a full integration of the WLAN network and the UMTS core network. The loose coupling has been preferred due to the simplicity and less reconfiguration requirement. However, loose coupling is worse in seamless mobility, QoS provision, and network security. In order to lessen the problems involved in the UMTS-WLAN interworking approaches, we propose a new interworking network architecture and a fast vertical handover scheme by employing Mobility Anchor(MA) for interworking between the two different networks. MA can enable authentication and session initialization before L2 handover of the mobile terminal, so that the seamless and fast vertical handover become possible. Thru analysis and numerical experiments, we proved that the proposed scheme has been validated.

In the general recording method of mobile broadcasting, all incoming broadcasting streams after recording time will be saved regardless of its content. In this case, as such that viewers do not want to record, commercial advertisement, are saved together. In order to solve these problems, the proposed method checks if the contents such as advertisements are exist in the target stream by analysing the splicing in incoming MPEG-2 TS streams and, if splicing happened, excludes incoming stream after the splicing in the recording process. In the proposed method, first the splice in the recording stream is verified using the related flags of adaptation field in the TS packet and, if judged to cause a splice, the time of splicing is to be estimated by evaluating the value of splice_countdown filed. In this way, the proposed algorithm provides the seamless recording method by estimating the time of splice and excluding the contents after the splicing. To evaluate the proposed seamless recording method, the simulation was carried out by modifying the software of the existing mobile broadcasting terminal.

Most of the current mobility management protocols such as MIPv4/6 and its variants standardized by the IETF do not support global seamless handover. This is because they require comprehensive changes of the existing network infrastructure. In this article, we propose a simple mobility management protocol (SMMP) which can support global seamless handover between homogeneous or heterogeneous wireless networks. The idea is that the SMMP employs separate location management function as done in SIP to support global user and service mobility. In addition, the bidirectional tunnels are dynamically constructed to support seamless IP mobility by extending the IEEE 802.21 MIH standards. The detailed architecture and functions of the SMMP have been designed. Finally, the simulation results, using NS-2, show that the proposed SMMP outperforms the existing MIPv6 and HMIPv6 in terms of handover latency, packet loss, pear signal noise ratio (PSNR).

A home network is a typical ubiquitous computing network that consists of various consumer devices and service environments. Home networks are requiring increasingly more complicated services, such as multimedia home theater and the monitoring and controlling of heterogeneous devices. Accordingly, a mutually connecting mechanism is needed among heterogeneous devices and services redundant. The current paper presents a Multimedia Room Bridge Adapter (MRBA) system that is designed to manage heterogeneous devices and support various services. In addition, a hardware and software prototype is implemented based on the proposed architecture.

DVB-H (Digital Video Broadcasting for Handhold) is a new standard, currently being developed, which defines mobile enhancements for the DVB-T (DVB-Terrestrial) standard. For the reception of service via mobile handhold devices, seamless mobility and power saving are essential requirements of DVB-H. For seamless handover, the receiver should monitor neighboring cells and it increases the power consumption. And so, power efficient handover scheme to support both mobility and power saving is required. In this paper, we propose cell searching scheme to reduce power consumption by reducing the number of frequency scanning during the handover. Through the numerical evaluation, we analyzethe performance of handover schemes.
