چکیده
Abstract – Mobility support for mobile networks will be more important as the mobile Internet becomes increasingly popular. To support mobile networks, the concept of prefix scope binding (PSB) is being discussed in IETF; however, by only applying this concept to Mobile IPv6 (MIP), the problem of packet loss still remains. In this paper, we apply the PSB concept to our proposed protocol, the Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 extension with buffering function (HMIP-B), in which mobility anchor points buffer packets destined to the mobile hosts during handoff. We compare MIP and HMIP-B based on the handoff performance related to mobile networks by computer simulation. The simulation results indicate that our proposal improves the handoff performance in both TCP and UDP communications.

Minimizing Mobile IP Handoff Latency
Handoff latencies affect the service quality of real-time applications of mobile users. With Mobile IP (MIP), the handoff latency highly depends on the distance, i.e. delay, between Home Agent (HA) and Foreign Agent (FA). Hierarchical MIP (HMIP) minimizes handoff latencies but depends on additional network elements introduced on the path between HA and FA. The need for additional network elemen...
متن کاملComparing different handoff schemes in IP based Micro-Mobility Protocols
The semi-soft handoff scheme for Cellular IP is optimized for networks where the mobile host is able to listen/transmit to two or more base stations simultaneously for a short durationthe time that the mobile host spends in the overlap areaas in the case of a WaveLAN or Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) network. This scheme improves the network efficiency off handoff in terms of packet loss ...
متن کاملScalability and Robustness Analysis of IPv6 Mobility Protocols
Fast Mobile IPv6 (FMIP) and Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 (HMIP) are enhancements to the standard Mobile IPv6 (SMIP) protocol that have been proposed for reducing handover latency and for localized mobility management. In this paper, we present the results of scalability and robustness study that cover the three protocols as well as two hybrid protocols of FMIP and HMIP. We have simulated user mobil...
متن کاملAdvances in IP Micromobility Management Using a Mobility-Aware Routing Protocol
Several micromobility schemes have been proposed to augment Mobile IP and provide a faster and smoother handoff than what is achievable by Mobile IP alone, the majority of which can be categorized into either “network prefix-based” or “host-specific forwarding” mobility management protocols, depending on the routing method used. This letter proposes a mobility-aware routing protocol (MARP) whic...
متن کاملImproving TCP Performance by Packet Buffering in Mobile IP Based Networks
It is well–known that TCP often experiences severe performance degradation in mobile networks since due to host mobility, packet losses not related to network congestion occur frequently. In this paper, we propose a buffering of packets at a base station to resolve such a problem. Our method can be used without sacrificing the scalability in Mobile IP based networks. For this purpose, we first ...
