Handoff Support for Mobilty with IP over Bluetooth

چکیده
The BLUEPAC (BLUEtooth Public ACcess) concepts presented at LCN 1999 were ideas for enabling mobile Bluetooth devices to access local area networks in public areas, such as airports, train stations and super-markets. The proposed protocols support mobility on OSI layer 3. This paper concentrates on the necessary layer 2 protocol concepts for supporting mobility and handoffs between different access points. Furthermore, we present the necessary adaptations for allowing IP datagrams to be exchanged between the mobile Bluetooth devices and access points. The BLUEPAC protocol concepts have been implemented above a Bluetooth emulation system to test their feasibility. First results clearly showed the importance of minimizing the handoff duration to allow efficient operation of upper layer protocols such as TCP.

has been proposed. This is much more economical as it works in the unlicensed band and leverages the existing wired broadband infrastructure. In such a Bluetooth network, however, the mobiles will move out from the range of one access point into that of another more frequently, requiring seamless handoff. We discuss a new algorithm to support fast handoff at the wireless layer. Our method explo...
متن کاملHandoff Protocol for Bluetooth Public Access
A major requirement for providing Internet connectivity to mobile handhelds is the wireless network access for handheld devices. As an alternative to the expensive 3G networks, which share 2 Mbps in several square kilometers, the use of short-range wireless technologies like Bluetooth that shares 1 Mbps among just 7 users, has been proposed. This is much more economical as it works in the unlic...
