A Fast MAC-Layer Handover for an IEEE 802.16e-Based WMAN

چکیده
We propose a modification of the IEEE 802.16e hard handover (HHO) procedure, which significantly reduces the handover latency constraint of the original HHO procedure in IEEE 802.16e networks. It allows a better handling of the delay-sensitive traffic by avoiding unnecessary time-consuming scanning and synchronization activity as well as simplifies the network re-entry procedure. With the help of the backhaul network, it reduces the number of control messages in the original handover policy, making the handover latency acceptable also for real-time streaming traffic. Preliminary performance evaluation studies show that the modified handover procedure is able to reduce the total handover latency by about 50%.

This document describes how a Mobile IPv6 Fast Handover can be implemented on link layers conforming to the IEEE 802.16e suite of specifications. The proposed scheme tries to achieve seamless handover by exploiting the link-layer handover indicators and thereby synchronizing the IEEE 802.16e handover procedures with the Mobile IPv6 fast handover procedures efficiently.

متن کاملPerformance Analysis of Fast Handover Schemes in IEEE 802.16e Broadband Wireless Networks
Broadband Wireless Networks based on IEEE 802.16 standard are developed to extend the wired networks with more efficient deployment and lower maintenance cost. IEEE 802.16e standard is proposed to support the mobility up to 60km/h with the data transmission rate up to 2Mbps, so handover has become one of the most important factors that impact the performance of IEEE 802.16e system. In order to ...
متن کاملA Seamless Handover Mechanism for IEEE 802.16e Broadband Wireless Access
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 developed a loss-free handover scheme called LPM (Last Packet Marking) for IEEE 802.16e-based broadband wireless access networks. By integrating MAC and network layer handovers efficiently, LPM minimizes the handover delay and eliminates pack...
