چکیده

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 that targets to offer real-time multimedia applications over wireless mobile networks. The existing approaches to solve this problem depend on the advance resource reservation and the optimization of handoff control. Unfortunately, big cost of the advance resource reservation in neighboring domains is a major problem that leads to a serious signaling load and a waste of wireless bandwidth. To solve this issue, we present an enhanced IMS handoff mechanism (EHM) based on user mobility prediction to save network resources by avoiding multiple useless advance reservations. In addition, to support the heterogeneous access networks in IMS domain, EHM evolves a network selective scheme to utilize the network resources more efficiently. The architecture of EHM and the advance QoS negotiation signaling are also presented. We model the cost, the handoff delay and the session blocking probability for EHM and the previous work. Analytical and simulation results show that EHM can enhance the handoff performance, such as reducing resource reservation cost greatly, decreasing session reestablishment delay and making good use of multiple access network resources.

An Implementation of QoS Framework for Heterogeneous Networks

Due to the popularity of the IEEE 802.11-based LANs and fast development of the IEEE 802.16e MANs, we can expect a heterogeneous network consisting of 802.11-based and 802.16e networks in the near future. In such an environment, heterogeneous handoff is possible. How to keep guaranteeing the handoff connection its QoS demand, and in the meantime, avoid impacting on other connections is a challe...

A Context Aware Based Pre-handoff Support Approach to Provide Optimal Qos for Streaming Applications over Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks – Hosa

Large variations in network Quality of Service (QoS) such as bandwidth, latency, jitter, and reliability may occur during media transfer over vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET). Usage of VANET over mobile and wireless computing applications experience “bursty” QoS behavior during the execution over distributed network scenarios. Applications such as streaming media services need to adapt their f...

Performance Improvement of Vertical Handoff Algorithms for QoS Support over Heterogeneous Wireless Networks

During the vertical handoff procedure, handoff decision is the most important step that affects the normal working of communication. An incorrect handoff decision or selection of a non-optimal network can result in undesirable effects such as higher costs, poor service experience, degrade the quality of service and even break off current communication. The objective of this paper is to determin...

Vertical Handoff Reduction Mechanism Using IEEE 802.21 Standard in Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) Network

Low handoff latency and minimum packet loss are envisioned important factors for the next generation Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) based heterogeneous networks. To meet these constraints IEEE 802.21-Media Independent Handover (MIH) was introduced to enhance the Quality of Service (QoS) of the networks. The MIH provides link layer information to the network layer to reduce handoff latency while the mobile...
