A new method to support UMTS/WLAN vertical handover using SCTP

This article proposes a new method to facilitate seamless vertical handover between wide area cellular data networks such as UMTS and WLANs using the stream control transmission protocol (SCTP). The multihoming capability and dynamic address configuration extension of SCTP are applied in UMTS/WLAN overlay architecture to decrease handover delay and improve throughput performance. Unlike techniques based on mobile IP or session initiation protocol, the SCTP-based vertical handover scheme does not require the addition of components such as home/foreign agents or a SIP server to existing networks. Therefore, the proposed scheme provides a network-independent solution preferred by service providers. Performance evaluations are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.     

Performance Improvements of Mobile SCTP in Integrated Heterogeneous Wireless Networks

The complementary characteristics of cellular networks and wireless local area networks (WLANs) make it attractive to integrate these two technologies. In this integrated heterogeneous environment, mobile stream control transmission protocol (MSCTP) is ideal to support vertical handover (VHO) between them by enabling a mobile client to freely switch between IP addresses acquired in different networks. In this paper, we show that the MSCTP-based VHO scheme suffers from poor throughput performance during WLAN to cellular forced VHOs. We propose a novel error recovery scheme called Sending-buffer Multicast-Aided Retransmission with Fast Retransmission (SMART-FRX) to improve performance during VHO by multicasting the buffered and new data over both WLAN and cellular links when handover losses occur. In addition, we propose a new analytical model for SCTP that takes into account the congestion window, the round trip time, the slow-start and congestion avoidance processes. By comparing numerical results from the proposed analytical model with simulation results, we demonstrate that our analytical model is able to predict the SCTP throughput accurately, with or without the SMART-FRX scheme. The analytical model provides a useful tool that can be extended to study the performance of SCTP in other applications. Analytical and simulation results show that the proposed SMART-FRX scheme can improve the SCTP throughput performance significantly in WLAN to cellular forced VHO situations.     

IPTV QoS adaptation for multi-homed mobile terminals in a new IMS based architecture

With the emergence of multimedia applications that have real constraints, ensuring a satisfying quality of service to mobile users presents a big challenge in heterogeneous wireless networks. In such environment, the asymmetry of the available resources as well as user’s mobility can cause offered QoS degradation. In this paper, we propose the use of the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) within a QoS adaptive IPTV services in a novel IMS architecture. The multi-homing feature and the partial reliability extension allow improving the network performance and increasing the user satisfaction. In addition, we have proposed an mSCTP based mobility scheme to guarantee service continuity during handover to IPTV users over IMS. The handover decision includes Perceived QoS (PQoS) measurement reflecting the user satisfaction and Media Independent Handover (MIH) information. An analytical study of the time required to perform IPTV adaptation, show that our approach improves the performance by minimizing the delay and maximizing the user satisfaction.

mSCTP for soft handover in transport layer

In this letter, we discuss mobile Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) for soft handover in the transport layer. From the experimentations on triggering rules for Add-IP and Primary-Change during the handover, it is shown that the aggressive Add-IP and conservative Primary-Change rules provide better throughput.     

Pre‐handover signalling for QoS aware mobility management

In this paper we present a new approach to provide fast handover in Mobile IP. A new Pre‐Handover Signalling (PHS) protocol is proposed to allow the network to achieve accurate handover decisions considering different constraints such as QoS, load balancing in the base stations, the user profile, the mobile node service requirements, etc. In addition we propose to minimize the time discovery of the new base station in order to minimize the handover latency. We propose to start the PHS as soon as the mobile node crosses a predefined critical zone area in its current location, this signalling will provide a list of candidate cells to the mobile node with corresponding priorities; the mobile node will select the highest priority base station as soon as the layer two handover occurs. We propose in the current work to use an extension of COPS (Common Open Policy Service) to support the proposed PHS mechanism and overcome the blind handover decisions of Mobile IP and improve the handover performance.
