최근 무선 통신 기술이 빠르게 발전하면서, 모바일 사용자들의 다양한 서비스에 대한 요청이 증가하고 있다. 그리고 멀티미디어 서비스는 네트웍 효율성의 측면에서 멀티캐스트 전송 기법이 적합하다. 이에, IETF Working Group에서는 이동 컴퓨팅 환경에서 IP 멀티캐스트를 지원하기 위해 Home Subscription 과 Remote Subscription을 제안하였다[1]. 이 방법들은 각각 장.단점을 가지고 있으나, 호스트에게 연속적인 서비스를 제공하지는 못한다. 본 논문에서는 Remote Subscription에서 제공하는 최적의 경로를 사용하면서, 사용자들에게 멀티캐스트 상에서 연속적인 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 방안에 대해 제시한다. Multicast Agent는 자신이 관리하는 네트웍에 현존하는 사용자들의 멀티캐스트 그룹의 관리와 사용자들을 대신하여 그룹에 가입 및 탈퇴를 행한다. 본 논문에서 제시한 방법은 이동 가능한 지역의 Multicast Agent가 미리 멀티캐스트 그룹에 참가함으로써 기존의 제시된 연구 방법들에 비해 사용자들에게 연속적인 서비스를 제공할 수 있다.

IP is not suitable for mobile nodes by network-based routing because mobile nodes are dynamically change their network attachment point. Mobile-IP is an IETF standard providing continuous access to the Internet for mobile nodes, but it has the triangle routing problem. Also it has a performance degradation problem by massive packet loss during layer 3 handoff of mobile nodes. Especially, two IETF multicast support schemes for Mobile-IP do not guarantee the quality of realtime multimedia services because they have several problems such as long routing path, packet duplication(hi-directional tunneling) and massive packet loss(remote subscription). In this paper, we propose a lossless remote subscription scheme that guarantees the quality of realtime multimedia services over Mobile-IP. From the result of simulation, we verified that the proposed scheme in this paper can reduce the delay time of remote subscription by the effect of the low latency handoff scheme that is extended to apply to the multicast group management and it requires only 0.58% buffer spaces of the previously proposed lossless remote subscription scheme.

In mobile Internet environment, providing multicast requires much more complex mechanism comparing with the unicast Mobile IP routing protocol. This is because multicast datagrams are sent to a group address that do not belong to a specific network. The IETF Mobile IP suggested two approaches for mobile multicasting, namely remote subscription and hi-directional tunneling. In remote subscription, a mobile node may join a group via a local multicast router on the visited subnet. Therefore remote subscription may cause much datagram loss while reconstructing the delivery tee. In bi-directional tunneling, a mobile node may join a group via a hi-directional tunnel to its home agent. Bi-directional tunneling may suffer from inefficient routing. In this paper, we proposed a new mobile multicasting protocol, Mobile If Multicast using Local Broadcast(MIMLB) which can receive multicast datagrams as fast as possible and optimize routing path for multicast delivery. The MIMLB protocol uses hi-directional tunneling to receive multicast datagrams. And the MIMLB protocol can resolve datagram duplicated problem and optimize routing path by using local broadcast. Simulation results show that MIMLB reduces delivery path length and optimizes multicast routing path when a mobile nod? moves into a foreign network.

In this paper, we study a multicast transport technique for multimedia services of mobile hosts in wireless network environments. To reduce packet loss during hand-off, we propose a Pre-join scheme in overlapped area and a Buffering scheme in crossover routers. To support seamless service in real time multimedia application, these scheme use an optimal path routing which was provided in remote subscription scheme and a prediction scheme of host movements which was considered overlapped area. To evaluate the peformance of our scheme, we compare Bi-direction tunneling of mobile If, Remote subscription, and MoM by using NS-2. As a result, our scheme shows better performance in network overhead, packet loss and bandwidth's use than other schemes.

The structure of $IP^2$(IP based-IMT Network Platform) as ubiquitous platform is three-layered model : Middleware including NCPF(Network Control Platform) and SSPF(Service Support Platform), IP-BB(IP-Backbone), Access network including Sensor network. A mobility management(MM) architecture in NCPF is proposed for $IP^2$. It manages routing information and location information separately. The existing method of multicast control in $IP^2$ is Remote Subscription. But Remote Subscription has problem that should be reconstructed whole Multicast tree when sender moves. To solve this problem, we propose a way to put Multicast Manager in NCPF.

The efficient provision of multicast service to moving hosts in mobile computing environments is not so easy task. Bi-directional tunneling scheme causes overhead about encapsulation and triangular routing. On the other hand, remote subscription scheme need freDuent tree reconstruction, which is inefficient for rapid moving hosts. In this paper we propose Mobility Based Mobile Multicast(MBMOM) scheme which is based on host's mobility information. Ultimately MBMOM try to find the strong points of remote subscription scheme and hi-directional tunneling scheme. If host's mobility speed is considered to be high, multicast packets are forwarded using hi-directional tunneling scheme from home agent continuously. If host's mobility speed is considered to be slow, remote subscription scheme is applied for foreign agent and it try to join multicast tree. We developed analytical models to analyze the performance of proposed scheme and simulated our scheme compared with MOM(Mobile Multicast), RBMOM(Range Based MOM), and TBMOM(Timer Based MOM) schemes. Simulation results show that our scheme has shorter transmission delay than above 3 schemes in the aspect of host's mobility speed and multicast group size.

This paper describes algorithm that minimizes recovery time of packet loss resulting from handoff in multicast environments and guarantees reliability through interaction of FN(Foreign Network) with PMTP(Predictable Multicast Tree Protocol). To solve the problems that inefficient routing and handoff delay taking plate when using hi-directional tunneling and remote subscription independently in multicast environments, proposed algorithm uses tunneling and rejoining multicast group according to the status of an arriving FA in a foreign network. Furthermore, proposed algorithm sends packet loss information and register message to previous FA or current FA at the same time. so, MH is able to recovery packet loss in handoff delay as soon as possible. As a result of performance analysis, proposed algorithm is more efficient than previous researches and is applicable to existing handoff method without requiring additional procedures.

Mobile multimedia services such as TV-call or video streaming are gradually becoming popular in the 3rd or more generation mobile network (IMT-2000). Multimedia traffic is expected to continue increasing into the coming years, and IP technology is considered to be the efficient way of transporting such huge volumes of multimedia traffic. IP-based IMT network platform represents an evolution from IMT-2000. The structure of IP-based IMT network as ubiquitous platform is three-layered model : Middleware including Network Control PlatForm (NCPF) and Service Support PlatForm (SSPF), IP-BackBone (IP-BB), access network including sensor network. Mobility Management (MM) architecture in NCPF is proposed for IP-based IMT network in order to manage routing information and location information separately. The generous existing method of multicast control in IP-based IMT network is Remote Subscription. But Remote Subscription has problem that should be reconstructed whole multicast tree when sender in multicast tree moves to another area. To solve this problem, we propose the way to put Multicast-manager in NCPF.

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.

In this paper, we propose a multicast routing scheme for an efficient and reliable support of multicast service to mobile hosts in IPv6 based networks. The purpose of this paper is to develop an algorithm to reduce both the number or multicast tree reconstruction and the multicast service disrupt time. The proposed multicast routing scheme is a hybrid method using the advantages of the bi-directional tunneling and the remote subscription proposed by the IETF Mobile IP working group. The proposed scheme satisfies the maximum tolerable transfer delay time and supports the maximum tunneling service. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme has better performance in the number of multicast tree reconstruction and the time of multicast service disrupt than the previous schemes does.
