Inter-operability between heterogeneous radio access technologies (RATs), in the sense of seamless vertical han-dover (VHO) support with common radio resource management (CRRM) functionalities, has recently attracted a significant research attention and has become a prominent issue in standardization fora. In this paper, we formulate the problem of load balancing between cooperative RAT's as a mathematical program and by trading off a pre-defined delay tolerance per request we propose a vertical handover batch processing (VHBP) scheme. To quantify the performance of the proposed VHBP scheme we compare it with a baseline processing scheme, where each VHO request is processed independently under a number of different network scenarios. Numerical investigations reveal significant net benefits of the proposed scheme compared with the baseline, both in terms of achieved load balancing levels but also with regard to the acceptance rate of the VHO requests.

In this paper we propose a resource management method which enables to guarantee the quality of experience (QoE) for handover in the overlaid macro-femtocell networks. How to cope with the resource demand of handover calls is necessary to efficiently support the movement of mobile terminals, the QoE degradation or the load control. We attempt to satisfy the QoE requirements of users and maximize the capacity of the system at the same time. In order to achieve this goal, this scheme divides the shared resources into two part for the movement of MT and QoE degradation, and allocates those resources with the competition between four types of handovers. Simulation results show that our scheme provides better performances than the conventional one with respect to the outage probability, data transmission throughput.

Wireless access technologies are emerging to enable high data rates for mobile users and novel applications that encompass both human and machine-type interactions. An essential approach to meet the rising demands on network capacity and offer high coverage for wireless users on upcoming fifth generation (5G) networks is heterogeneous networks (HetNets), which are generated by combining the installation of macro cells with a large number of densely distributed small cells Deployment in 5G architecture has several issues because to the rising complexity of network topology in 5G HetNets with many distinct base station types. Aside from the numerous benefits that dense small cell deployment delivers, it also introduces key mobility management issues such as frequent handover (HO), failures, delays and pingpong HO. This article investigates 5G HetNet mobility management in terms of radio resource control. This article also discusses the key challenges for 5G mobility management.

This paper proposes a network-based mobility control scheme in wireless/mobile networks, which is based on the Locator-Identifier Separation Protocol (LISP). Compared to the existing LISP mobility scheme, the proposed scheme is featured by the following two points: 1) each LISP Tunnel Router (TR) is implemented at the first-hop access router that mobile nodes are attached to, and 2) for handover support, the LISP Routing Locator (RLOC) update operation is performed between Ingress TR and Egress TR. By numerical analysis, it is shown that the proposed scheme can reduce the handover latency much more than the other candidate schemes.

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.

In order to support the mobility of the wireless devices, at least two APs (Access Points) must be arranged in a single AP area to maintain communication area. In the WLAN (Wireless LAN) environment, seamless handover is one of the most important issues in terms of effective utilization of wireless networks and maximization of services for users. On the other hand, SDN (Software-Defined Networking), which is emerging rapidly in recent years, is revolutionizing network management in terms of flexibility, fine control, and convenience. SDN originally reduces latency time or increases network robustness by real-time flow table control reducing or bypassing paths between switches in LAN-based data centers. In this study, we apply OpenFlow, a SDN platform focused on wired LAN, to a dense WLAN environment using legacy APs to implement and evaluate seamless handover for streaming services of digital contents.

Generally, the wireless network provides priority to handover calls instead of new calls to maintain its quality of service (QoS). Because of this QoS provisioning, a call admission control (CAC) scheme is essential for the suitable management of limited radio resources of wireless networks to uphold different factors, such as new call blocking probability, handover call dropping probability, channel utilization, etc. Designing an optimal CAC scheme is still a challenging task due to having a number of considerable factors, such as new call blocking probability, handover call dropping probability, channel utilization, traffic rate, etc. Among existing CAC schemes such as, fixed guard band (FGB), fractional guard channel (FGC), limited fractional channel (LFC), and Uniform Fractional Channel (UFC), the LFC scheme is optimal considering the new call blocking and handover call dropping probability. However, this scheme does not consider channel utilization. In this paper, a CAC scheme, which is termed by a uniform fractional band (UFB) to overcome the limitations of existing schemes, is proposed. This scheme is oriented by priority and non-priority guard channels with a set of fractional channels instead of fractionizing the total channels like FGC and UFC schemes. These fractional channels in the UFB scheme accept new calls with a predefined uniform acceptance factor and assist the network in utilizing more channels. The mathematical models, operational benefits, and the limitations of existing CAC schemes are also discussed. Subsequently, we prepared a comparative study between the existing and proposed scheme in terms of the aforementioned QoS related factors. The numerical results we have obtained so far show that the proposed UFB scheme is an optimal CAC scheme in terms of QoS and resource utilization as compared to the existing schemes.

The integration of WLAN and beyond 3G mobile networks offers the possibility of achieving anytime and anywhere Internet access. Moreover the requests for seamless multimedia services and the Quality of Service (QoS) support have been one of key issues in wireless networks. Therefore the researches relative to seamless multimedia service and QoS over heterogeneous wireless networks have been progressing rapidly. In this paper, we propose inter-working architecture for supporting seamless multimedia service and QoS over WLAN and WiBro networks. Based on the proposed inter-working architecture, we also provide both the seamless handover architecture such an inter-network vertical handover and the QoS-aware wireless Medium Access Control (MAC) scheme. In addition, we evaluate and compare the performance by Network Simulator-2 (NS-2) simulations.

In this paper, we propose an approach to transport layer mobility support leveraging the SCTP extension dubbed dynamic address reconfiguration in IPv6 networks. Timing issues related to the end-to-end address management, and a novel error recovery mechanism associated with a handover are discussed. The proposed error recovery mechanism is analyzed and compared to that of the plain SCTP to show that it reduces the handover latency and error recovery time.
