An Enhanced Handoff Mechanism for Cellular IP
نویسندگان
چکیده
Handoff is one of the most important factors that may degrade the performance of TCP connections in wireless data networks. In this paper, we present a lossless and duplication free handoff scheme called LPM (Last Packet Marking) for improving Cellular IP semisoft handoff. LPM signals the safe handoff cue by sending a specially marked packet to mobile hosts. With this control packet, MH can adapt to network dynamics simply and efficiently. Our performance study shows that LPM achieves lossless packet delivery without duplication and increases TCP throughput significantly.

Handoff Mechanisms in Cellular IP: Enhancement into the Indirect Handoff Mechanism
Mobile IP is now the standard for supporting mobility in IP networks. It provides seamless mobility by hiding the change of IP address when a mobile host moves between IP subnets. Nevertheless, Mobile IP is not designed to support fast handoff and seamless mobility in handoff-intensive environments. Several micro-mobility protocols have been proposed to support host mobility with frequent hando...

Due to frequent handoff, Mobile IP has been confronted with some limitations. Cellular IP, one of micro-mobility protocols, was proposed to overcome these limitations and to provide good handoff performance. However, some drawbacks of Cellular IP like packet loss have been addressed. We propose an enhanced semi-soft handoff protocol based on a node’s decision to cope with these drawbacks. With ...

The Internet Engineering Taskforce (IETF) Mobile IP protocol is considered to have limitations in its capability to handle large numbers of Mobile Stations moving fast between different radio cells, a process called Handoff. The Handoff frequency should typically not exceed once a second. However, Mobile IP is well suited for interconnecting disparate cellular networks effectively providing glo...
متن کاملEnhanced IMS Handoff Mechanism for QoS Support over Heterogeneous Network
IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) is over IP network architecture, but mobile IP cannot directly support session mobility controlled by session initiation protocol-based signaling. The long signaling delay for session reestablishment in application layer always results in session interruptions during the handoff. Therefore, handoff poses a challenge for quality of service (QoS) maintenance in IMS t...

The ever increasing demand of the subscribers has put pressure on the capacity of wireless networks around the world. To utilize the scare resources, in the present paper we propose an optimal allocation scheme for an integrated wireless/cellular model with handoff priority and handoff guarantee services. The suggested algorithm optimally allocates the resources in each cell and dynamically adj...
