Measurement Based Analysis of the Handover in a WLAN MIPv6 Scenario

چکیده
This paper studies the problems related to mobile connectivity on a wireless environment with Mobile IPv6, specially the handover, which is the most critical part. The main goal of this paper is to develop a structured methodology for analyzing 802.11/IPv6/MIPv6 handovers and their impact on application’s level. This is accomplished by capturing traffic on a testbed and analyzing it with two applications developed for this purpose. The analysis covers passive and active measurements. This methodology is applicable for measuring improvements on handover (such as Fast Handovers for Mobile IPv6, Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 or 802.11 handover).

Efficient Handover Scheme of Proxy Mobile IPv6 in Wireless Local Area Networks
The IEEE 802.11 based WLAN is widely used because of its low cost and high data rate not only in a small office but also in a public hot spot. To support IP mobility of a mobile node in WLAN the mobile node should have a complicated Mobile IP function in its protocol stack if conventional host-based management protocol such as MIPv6 is used. In this paper we propose an efficient hand over schem...
متن کاملA Comprehensive Study on Handover Performance of Hierarchical Mobile IPv6
Recently, IETF has standardized Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) and Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 (HMIPv6) for supporting IPv6 mobility. Even though existing literatures have asserted that HMIPv6 generally improves MIPv6 in terms of handover speed, they do not carefully consider the details of the whole handover procedures. In this paper, based on the current IETF standards of both MIPv6 and HMIPv6, we conduct ...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of L3 Handover Latency in MIPv6
Recent years in the field of mobile communications have brought two significant requirements – seamless service delivery and Quality of Service provisioning. Seamless mobility goes hand in hand with Mobile IPv6 protocol and various handover schemes of this protocol are trying to solve the QoS issue. In this paper we are presenting a method for evaluation of the Layer 3 handover schemes from the...
متن کاملMeasurement-Based Comparison of IPv4/IPv6 Mobility Protocols on a WLAN Scenario
This paper focuses on a measurement-based comparison of the handover for different mobility protocols: Mobile IPv4, Mobile IPv6 and Fast Handovers for Mobile IPv6. The paper studies the handover using active and passive measurements computing the handover latency, packet losses and the provided QoS level in a real testbed. Our experimental results show that there are severe QoS fluctuations bef...
متن کاملEnabling Soft Vertical Handover for MIPv6 in OMNeT++
Switching connectivity over multiple wireless interfaces of a mobile node is essential when performing handover between heterogeneous networks. In such a communication scenario, session continuity as experienced by the user can be enhanced if soft handover is enabled through the concept of make-before-break. However, some of the available networking protocols need to be modified to support this...
