垂直交换管理的集合架构

Recent advances in hardware technology have made it possible for mobile devices to interface with multiple networks of different types. In this paper, an IEEE 802.21 Media Independent Handover (MIH) based handover management architecture containing four modules is proposed and the multihoming technology is adopted to achieve Make-Before-Break vertical handover. Then the paper presents the performance analysis of the architecture and simulation in ns-2. The results substantiate the effi cacy of the architecture in improving the handover performance signifi cantly compared with the traditional Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) based vertical handover. Besides, we design and implement this handover management architecture in our test-bed. The experimental results in a real network environment show that our proposed architecture can not only support the Make-before-break handover, but also guarantee the scalability because of the modulized design.     

A Fast IMS Service Recovery Mechanism for the Handover Over MIH-Capable Heterogeneous Networks

IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) is the core multimedia network in the next generation all-IP environment. It provides access independence for multimedia applications across fixed and mobile access networks. When a roaming IMS subscriber connects to IMS through mobile access networks, handover becomes a critical issue; this needs to be addressed. Since IMS concerns application layer handover for session mobility, the application layer handover takes a long time for recovering the suspended sessions according to the standard IMS session reestablishment procedure. This introduces noticeable service interruption to end users and cannot be tolerated for real-time applications. In this paper we propose a fast IMS service recovery mechanism to shorten the service recovery latency by combining the IEEE 802.21 Media Independent Handover service and the IRTF Media-Independent Pre-Authentication frameworks. The proposed mechanism performs the necessary IMS registration and QoS re-negotiation procedures in advance of lower-layer handover. Thus it reduces the service recovery latency for suspended services. With parallel design in time, the proposed mechanism is able to shorten overall handover relevant latency as well. Technical examination shows that it is easy to deploy the proposed mechanism in current multimedia service environments.

Fast and Secure Handover Authentication Scheme Based on Ticket for WiMAX and WiFi Heterogeneous Networks

Integrated WiMAX and WiFi networks is of great potential for the future due to the wider coverage of WiMAX and the high data transport capacity of WiFi. However, seamless and secure handover (HO) is one of the most challenging issues in the WiMAX and WiFi heterogeneous networks. In this paper, we present a fast and secure HO authentication scheme based on credential ticket for WiMAX and WiFi heterogeneous networks. In the proposed scheme, Mobile Station (MS) shows its corresponding credential ticket generated by the previously visited Base Station (BS)/Access Point (AP) to the target BS/AP whenever an HO occurs, and then the MS and target BS/AP can complete the mutual authentication and derive their shared session key without interacting with the Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting server, which significantly reduces the HO authentication delay. Moreover, our scheme fulfills the essential security requirements in HO authentication semantics and the formal verification by the AVISPA tool shows that the proposed scheme is secure against various malicious attacks. In addition, the theoretical analysis and simulation indicate that our scheme outperforms the existing HO authentication schemes in terms of communication and computation cost.

一种新型的LTE-A网络切换认证协议

GHAP: An Efficient Group-based Handover Authentication Mechanism for IEEE 802.16m Networks

IEEE 802.16m is now under consideration by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) to become the International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT)-Advanced standard. However, handover authentication is a critical issue in this area. In this paper, we propose an efficient group-based handover authentication mechanism, named as GHAP, for correlated mobile stations (MSs) in IEEE 802.16m networks. In our scheme, the correlated MSs who have the similar Signal to Interference-plus-Noise Ratio and history handover information etc. are divided into the same handover group. When the first MS of the handover group members moves from the service base station (BS) to a target BS, the service BS transmits all the handover group members’ security context to the target BS utilizing the security context transfer (SCT) method and then all these MSs in the same handover group can easily perform the handover authentication with the target BS. Different from the conventional SCT schemes, our scheme uses the MSs’ security context as a symmetric key of Cipher-based message authentication code (CMAC) but not the key material of deriving new session key. Therefore, the proposed scheme can effectively resist the domino effect existing in the previous SCT schemes. Moreover, security analysis shows that the proposed scheme also meets the other security requirements in handover authentication semantics. Furthermore, performance analysis demonstrates that the proposed scheme is very efficient in reducing average handover latency.

基于用户体验的VLC/WiFi异构网络切换算法

针对可见光通信(VLC)与WiFi组成的异构网络中的网络选择问题,现有工作大多仅关注实际物理网络指标的优化,如信干噪比(SINR)和吞吐量等,而忽视了终端用户的异构需求和服务体验。基于此,该文提出了一种以用户体验质量(QoE)为优化目标的网络切换算法。该算法首先基于平均主观评分(MOS)机制建立离散化的QoE等级模型,然后根据不同网络对应的实际QoE水平给出了相应网络切换准则,当且仅当新网络使得用户QoE等级提升时才进行网络切换,从而在一定程度减小盲目追求容量优化引起的网络切换开销。仿真结果表明,该算法相比现有算法能够在保证QoE水平的前提下显著减小整体的网络切换次数,从而降低网络开销,提升网络性能。
