Handover is one of the most important factors that may degrade the performance of TCP connections and real-time applications in wireless data networks. We proposed a seamless handover with Motion Prediction in IEEE 802.16e-based broadband wireless access networks. By intergrating MAC and network layer handovers efficiently, this scheme minimizes the handover delay and eliminates packet losses during handover Simulations show that this scheme achieves loss-free packet delivery without packet duplication and increases TCP throughput significantly.

In this paper. we propose an adaptive handover scheme in wireless network The proposed handover scheme is a hybrid type of virtual path extension and rerouting. The proposed handover scheme chooses the virtual path management scheme according to the service QoS instead of the network topology which is used in the previous hybrid handover schemes. The proposed scheme supports the seamless service and small buffering during virtual path rerouting handover through the multicasting service. To evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme. we compute the number of signaling message used for handover and perform computer simulation. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme provides more efficiency in the handover delay and seamless service than the previous methods.

The future mobile networks consist of hyper-dense heterogeneous and small cell networks of same or different radio access technologies (RAT). Integrating mobile networks of different RATs to provide seamless and smooth mobility service will be the target of future mobile converged network. Generally, handover from high-speed networks to low-speed networks faces many challenges from application perspective, such as abrupt bandwidth variation, packet loss, round trip time variation, connection disruption, and transmission blackout. Existing inter-RAT handover solutions cannot solve all the problems at the same time. Based on the high-layer convergence sublayer design, a new receiver-aided soft inter-RAT handover is proposed. This soft handover scheme takes advantage of multihoming ability of multi-mode mobile station (MS) to smooth handover procedure. In addition, handover procedure is seamless and applicable to frequent handover scenarios. The simulation results conducted in UMTS-WiMAX converged network scenario show that: in case of TCP traffics for handover from WiMAX to UMTS, not only handover latency and packet loss are eliminated completely, but also abrupt bandwidth/wireless RTT variation is smoothed. These delightful features make this soft handover scheme be a reasonable candidate of mobility management for future mobile converged networks.

Recently there has been much effort, in both academia and industry, to integrate a plethora of wireless technologies in order to provide seamless connection to mobile users. To support seamless connection on terminal needs fast handover function and location management function. Especially, Performing fast handover has to interact with function of datalink layer and mobility based IP. In this paper, we propose a handover decision mechanism using MIH( Media Independent Handover) in hybrid networks to reduce the delay of transmission for data.

In this paper, we propose an efficient seamless handover protocol in NEMO environment. Yokoda et al 4. proposed fast handover method with collaboration of access routers in local network and Teraoka et al. 1 showed fast handover method with collaboration of layers in mobile network. These methods can delay the time of overall binding update and increase packets loss when link of router is unstable because they transport packets through only one path or link of router. And they don't also mention redirection method of packets in their protocol in case of unstable link state of routers. The proposed protocol can execute fast binding update and reduce packets loss with collaboration of routers in mobile network.

As a mobility support for IP have studied, Internet Engineering Task Force(ITEF) standardized the mobile IPv6 protocol. When a mobile node moves between networks, MIPv6 maintains connectivity to network and supports seamless communication, and these processes are called a Handover. IEEE 802.21 standardized MIH(Media Independent Handover) for seamless Handover. MIH used three services for Handover between low layer and upper layer. In this paper, we designed two modes on existing MIH for seamless Handover. We implemented a dual-interface mobile host(MH) model in network simulation2 (ns2) to evaluate how it performs in comparison with single-interface MH.

In view of mutual complementary feature of wide coverage and high data rate, the interworking between 3G cellular network and WLAN is a global trend of wireless communications. This paper introduces the analytic result of an authentication mechanism for 3GPP-WLAN seamless mobility under the USIM-based authentication test-bed. In a handover process between heterogeneous networks, authentication is the main factor of handover delay. So authentication processing time should be firstly reduced. This paper describes an USTM-based EAP-AKA test-bed implemented for handover in UMTS and WLAN interworking systems. Experimental result has shown that the fast re-authentication mechanism during handover has reduced the handover delay by about 48.6%.

Recently, the combination of WLAN and 3G wireless technologies will make MMS service more ubiquitous, bringing benefits to both service providers and their customers. To realize seamless MMS service over WLAN and CDMA2000 networks, we design novel seamless interworking architecture by reusing the existing standards and network elements at the same time. Based on the proposed seamless interworking architecture, we also present seamless notification architecture and seamless handover architecture that can't be possible within current MMS reference architecture. This paper will make a contribution for service providers to provide their customers with seamless MMS service over WLAN and CDMA2000 networks.

DVB-H (Digital Video Broadcasting for Handhold) is a new standard, currently being developed for a portable digital broadcasting, which enhance the multimedia broadcasting service in the Euroapean standard DVB-T (DVB-Terrestrial). Seamless mobility and power saving are essential requirements in the DVB-H system. To support seamless mobility, DVB-H system should provides seamless handover for mobile stations in the MFN (multi frequency network). For seamless handover, the receiver should monitor neighboring cells and it increases the power consumption. And so, power efficient sell searching algorithm for seamless handover is required. In this paper, we propose hypothesis feeling based handover algorithm to enhance the power efficiency by using the fast cell searching, and analyze the performance of handover schemes through the numerical evaluation and simulation.

Since low earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations have important advantages over geosynchronous earth orbit (GEO) systems such as low propagation delay, low power requirements, and more efficient spectrum allocation due to frequency reuse between satellites and spotbeams, they are considered to be used to complement the existing terrestrial fixed and wireless networks in the evolving global mobile network. However, one of the major problems with LEO satellites is their higher speed relative to the terrestrial mobile terminals, which move at lower speeds but at more random directions. Therefore, handover management in LEO satellite networks becomes a very challenging task for supporting global mobile communication. Efficient and accurate methods are needed for LEO satellite handovers between the moving footprints. In this paper, we propose a new seamless handover management scheme for LEO satellites (SeaHO-LEO), which utilizes the handover management schemes aiming at decreasing latency, data loss, and handover blocking probability. We also present another interesting handover management model called satellite mobility pattern based handover management in LEO satellites (PatHO-LEO) which takes mobility pattern of both satellites and mobile terminals into account to minimize the handover messaging traffic. This is achieved by the newly introduced billboard manager which is used for location updates of mobile users and satellites. The billboard manager makes the proposed handover model much more flexible and easier than the current solutions, since it is a central server and supports the management of the whole system. To show the performance of the proposed algorithms, we run an extensive set of simulations both for the proposed algorithms and well known handover management methods as a baseline model. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithms are very promising for seamless handover in LEO satellites.
