In this paper, we introduce an enhanced information server (EIS) to accelerate vertical handover procedures in IEEE 802.21 media independent handover (MIH) networks. Based on the EIS, we propose an improved vertical handover procedure in which wireless channel conditions are estimated by exploiting spatial and temporal locality at the EIS, and therefore time consuming channel scanning procedures can be skipped. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme can reduce the vertical handover latency under diverse environments. 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

A survey on applications of IEEE 802.21 Media Independent Handover framework in next generation wireless networks

Integration of various wireless access technologies is one of the major concerns in recent wireless systems in which multi-technology mobile devices are provided to users to roam between different access networks. Being an essential part in heterogeneous wireless systems, vertical handover is more complex than conventional horizontal handover. As IEEE 802.21 Media Independent Handover (MIH) is ...

An Optimized Vertical Inter-map Handover Scheme for Hmipv6 in Heterogeneous Wireless Networks

An optimized fast vertical inter-mobility anchor point (MAP) handover scheme for Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 (HMIPv6) is proposed for heterogeneous wireless access networks. Two existing non-optimized vertical handover schemes – the simple vertical inter-MAP handover for HMIPv6 (SVH6) and fast vertical inter-MAP handover for HMIPv6 (FVH6) – assisted by existing hierarchical handover and fast hando...

IEEE 802.21 Buffer Predicting Seamless Handoff (BPSH) Scheme for WAVE-WiMAX Heterogenous Handoff

Since Wireless Access in Vehicular Environment (WAVE) is a draft amendment to the IEEE 802.11 standard, the integration of WAVE (IEEE 802.11p) and Wireless Metropolitan Area Network (IEEE 802.16) becomes a concerned issue to mobile network users. During the roaming between the two heterogeneous wireless networks, the quality of multimedia services for users depends heavily on seamless handover,...
