Effects of Packet Lossless Recovery Scheme on Buffer Size for Mobile VoIP Handoff

چکیده
The integration of Mobile IP standard and VoIP functions makes the Mobile Voice over IP (Mobile VoIP) service feasible. In Mobile VoIP applications, the mobile users can dynamically move around different networks, and thus result in handoffs. Handoffs will introduce packets loss, and thus significantly drop the quality of service (QoS). To support the QoS, we propose in this paper a two-buffer packet lossless retransmission recovery scheme for Mobile VoIP handoff duration. For realizing the effects of handoff time on backup buffer overhead, we perform several realistic experiments with various wireless parameters, such as different AP (Access Point) signaling strengths, different traffic loads, different advertisement frequencies, and different number of mobile users. The experimental results show that, with our packet recovery scheme, the designated backup buffer size in general ranges from 7 to 10 Kilo Bytes. We thus conclude that our two-buffer recovery scheme is practical for current Mobile VoIP services.

Support of micro-mobility in MPLS-based wireless access networks
In this paper, we propose an architecture for the MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching)-based micro-mobility management including label switched path setup, packet forwarding, handoff processing, and paging. In order to prevent packet loss during handoff, we propose two packet recovery mechanisms, namely: buffer time-based packet recovery and medium access control (MAC) layer assisted packet re...
متن کاملAn Enhanced Handoff Mechanism for Cellular IP
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 ada...

متن کاملNetwork load and packet loss optimization during handoff using multi-scan approach
Handoff is a critical function that enables mobile nodes to stay connected to the wireless network by switching the data connection from one WLAN to another. During handoff the communication may be degraded or interrupted due to the high packets loss. To prevent packet loss during handoff, a handoff management scheme that employs a transport protocol has been proposed. It supports multiple conn...
متن کاملS-MIP: A Seamless Handoff Architecture for Mobile IP
As the number of Mobile IP (MIP) [2] users grow, so will the demand for delay sensitive real-time applications, such as audio streaming, that require seamless handoff, namely, a packet lossless Quality-of-Service guarantee during a handoff. Two well-known approaches in reducing the MIP handoff latency have been proposed in the literature. One aims to reduce the (home) network registration time ...
