Handover Management for Hybrid Satellite/Terrestrial Networks

چکیده
Initially envisaged to support handover between different wireless 802.x network technologies, the IEEE 802.21 standard also appears as the good candidate for handover management in future integrated satellite / terrestrial systems. This paper presents an analysis of how this standard could be implemented in the frame of a realistic scenario and taking into account the current trends in wireless network and mobility architectures. Our solution is then evaluated by means of emulation over a DVB-RCS representative testbed, and based on an experimental MIH implementation. We finally show that seamless handover can nearly be achieved with very short service outages.

Optimized handover and resource management: an 802.21-based scheme to optimize handover and resource management in hybrid satellite-terrestrial networks
Satellite communications can provide fourth generation (4G) networks with large-scale coverage. However, their integration to 4G is challenging because satellite networks have not been designed with handover in mind. The setup of satellite links takes time, and so, handovers must be anticipated long before. This paper proposes a generic scheme based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronic...

LEO satellite has an important role in global communication system. They have advantages like low power requirement and lower end-to-end delay, efficient frequency spectrum utilization between satellites and spotbeams over MEO and GEO satellites. So in future they can be used as a replacement of modern terrestrial wireless networks. There are a lot of handover techniques for LEO satellites like...
متن کاملTCP Performance Issues in Satellite and WiFi Hybrid Networks for High-Speed Trains
GEO satellite communication systems are an efficient approach for broadband Internet provision on highspeed trains, but some work is still needed to allow a seamless service. In the railway scenario, satellite communications suffer from strong variations in the received signal power and need suitable solutions to deal with long channel disruptions due to tunnels. The approach envisaged in this ...
