Low handover latency and IP session continuity are envisioned to be important factors for realizing next-generation all-IP heterogeneous wireless networks. To meet these constraints of the next generation networks, Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) has been considered as one of the IP mobility management protocols in recent years. Much research about the performance analysis of PMIPv6 has been done. However,...
Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) is the current standard for end host mobility management in the Internet. In order to provide location management, MIPv6 operates in two different modes while the mobile node (MN) is away from its home. In the first mode, the MN incoming packets are tunneled to the MN current location via the home network. In the second mode, the traffic is exchanged directly between the MN and...
Mobility support in IPv6 networks (MIPv6) and Fast Handovers for Mobile IPv6 (FMIPv6) are already released as RFCs for many years. While the former focuses on maintaining the network connections when a mobile node handovers across subnets, the latter is built based on the former concept, but focuses on reducing the packet loss and latency inherent to the handover process. Performance study of both...
SCTP faces three performance problems in hard handover scenarios: high network handover delay, high transport handover delay and throughput under-utilization. Existing solutions assume the mobile extension of SCTP (m-SCTP) as a unique way to handle handovers and rely on terminal mechanisms. Nevertheless, they are not efficient as they lack the necessary information to perform on-time and fine SCTP...
This paper forward a method for making FMIPv6 security and fast handover based on the context transfer protocol. The context transfer protocol realizes foreign network certificates the mobile node MN rapidly and safely without home network participating. Besides, during the transferring period, the paper adopts ECC mechanism to keep the context safe and reliable. At the end of the paper, this method...
With the rapid growth of wireless communication technologies and mobile applications, more and more mobile terminals need to access Internet seamlessly. Due to the IP address acts as both identifier and locator for a mobile terminal, it cannot guarantee the service continuity when a mobile terminal keeps moving. An efficient mobility management schemes for a mobile terminal is important. The Host...
Considering lack of comparative studies on Ping-pong movement, comprehensive evaluations were carried out to estimate the impact of layer-3 handoff latency on End-to-End TCP for mobile IPv6 and its extensions. Results show that FHMIPv6, which has 273ms overall handoff delay, 93.867 Kbytes/s average goodput and 9.125% packet loss rate, performs better than HMIPv6 and FMIPv6 frameworks under Ping-pong...
Most existing soft handoff approaches lead to plenty of out-of-order packets during downward vertical handoffs (VHOs). We have presented a soft VHO scheme, called SHORDER, to avoid packet reordering caused by downward VHOs. In this paper, we analyze the effects of our SHORDER scheme and another typical existing soft VHO method on the handoff latency and the received data size during a downward VHO...
A novel sensor network configuration is introduced for traffic surveillance in Intelligent Transportation Systems. Distributed sensor nodes based on passive acoustic transducers are non intrusively/obtrusively deployed at motorway road-side to provide real-time traffic data collection for dynamic queue/jam detection. The system is capable to provide a complete real-time picture of traffic flow at...
Mobile IPv6 allows mobile nodes to remain reachable while moving around in the Internet. In Mobile IPv6, each mobile node is always identified by its home address, regardless of its current point of attachment to the Internet. While situated away from its home, a mobile node is also associated with a care-of address, which provides information about the mobile node's current location. This chapter...
Recently, P2P file distribution systems including the BitTorrent are used for distributing open source software, e.g., BSD OS. IP address of downloaders relate to session disconnection in each downloader during the file transmission. Session disconnection with changing IP address will impact efficiency of the file distribution using TCP as a transport layer protocol. To avoid the issue, we consider...
The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has adopted an interworking architecture between Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) and Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs). This architecture imposes a set of security requirements on subscribers connecting from within interworked WLANs to be able to access their 3G home packet-switched services. Providing seamless handoff and session continuity...
At present, the number of Internet subscribers accessing Internet through mobility terminal equipment and other new types is gradually increasing, which shows it's important to develop mobility management protocols in order to provide mobility support for the subscribers. Several protocols were proposed to support IP mobility in the IETF, such as MIPv6, HMIPv6, FMIPv6 and F-HMIPv6. Some performance...
In the Internet, nodes are identified using IP addresses that depend on their topological location. IPv4/IPv6 translation technology involves address mapping between IPv6 and IPv4 nodes and the methods used to translate protocols, where nodes are in their respective IP version of network. The various IPv4 addressing mechanisms and addressing architectures are studied. The detailed study reveals that...
Fourth Generation mobile devices incorporate multiple interfaces with diverse access technologies. The current Mobile IP protocol fails to support the enhanced fault tolerance capabilities that are enabled by the availability of multiple interfaces. In particular, established Mobile IP communications cannot be preserved through outages affecting the Home Address. In this paper we describe an architecture...
The Application continuity in IMS requires Mobility Management to ensure Session having Seamless handover and small delay. As a Session Control Protocol of IMS, SIP introduces big delay and real-time handover problems. In this letter, we proposed a combination scheme of SIP and mSCTP to solve the problem of Application continuity in IMS. We presented a novel approach for the problem of Compatibility...
Mobility management solutions designed for heterogeneous networks can provide seamless handover and service continuity. Thus, ongoing TCP sessions can remain active, even when mobile node handovers from one access network to another. In such seamless handover, packet loss can be avoided but TCP still undergoes through several performances degradation issues due to change of network characteristics...
The Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) is a network localized mobility management protocol that is independent of global mobility management protocols. In a single mobility domain (LMD), the mobile node (MN) is not involved in any IP mobility-related signaling and uses only its PMIPv6 home address for all its communication. Subsequently, when the MN moves into another LMD, the MN must change its PMIPv6 home...
With the development of Mobile IPv6 and multicast technology, mobile multicast becomes a research hotspot. Based on two basic mobile multicast methods, the Bi-directional Tunnel (BT) method and the Remote Subscription (RS) method, some mobile multicast schemes have been proposed. However, most of them evaluate the performance by means of analysis and simulation, but lack of testing the performance...
Next generation networks intend to offer pervasive and ubiquitous services to the customers wherever they are and whatever the application they are using. To achieve this goal, service continuity across homogenous and heterogeneous networks must be guaranteed. Although Fast Mobile IPv6 overcomes the long handover latency of Mobile IPv6 and makes this delay acceptable for real-time applications, the...
