层次移动IPv6的增强切换方案

随着互联网技术与移动通信技术飞速发展,移动IPv6技术已经成为下一代移动互联网的研究热点。切换技术是影响移动互联网实时运行质量的重要技术之一。低延迟、低丢包的无缝切换方案对移动IPv6的性能至关重要。层次移动IPv6(HMIPv6)利用移动锚点(MAP)降低了延迟和数据丢失。然而,只有移动节点在同一MAP域的网络上进行切换时,HMIPv6才能有效减少延迟。当移动节点在不同MAP域的网络移动时,其切换性能并不优于标准移动IPv6。文章针对层次移动IPv6提出了一种增强切换方案(EHMIPv6),该方案在HMIPv6的基础上实现并行重复地址检测(PDAD),以减少不同区域网络间切换的延迟。分析表明,该方案比HMIPv6具有更好的性能。

An Empirical Analysis of Handoff Performance for SIP,Mobile IP,and SCTP Protocols

Over the last decade, we have witnessed a growing interest in the design and deployment of various network architectures and protocols aimed at supporting mobile users as they move across different types of networks. One of the goals of these emerging network solutions is to provide uninterrupted, seamless connectivity to mobile users giving them the ability to access information anywhere, anytime. Handoff management, an important component of mobility management, is crucial in enabling such seamless mobility across heterogeneous network infrastructures. In this work, we investigate the handoff performance of three of the most widely used mobility protocols namely, Mobile IP, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), and Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP). Our empirical handoff tests were executed on an actual heterogeneous network testbed consisting of wired, wireless local area, and cellular networks using performance metrics such as handoff delay and handoff signaling time. Our empirical results reveal that Mobile IP yields the highest handoff delay among the three mobility protocols. In addition, we also found that SIP and SCTP yield 33 and 55% lower handoff delays respectively compared to Mobile IP.     

Seamless Handoff Scheme Based on Pre-registration and Pre-authentication for UMTS–WLAN Interworking

Interworking issues between Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) have become a great matter of interest as an increasing number of mobile internet users require broadband wireless access to IP services in the wide area. In this paper, we present a practical UMTS–WLAN interworking architecture based on 3GPP standards and propose a seamless handoff scheme that guarantees low delay and low packet loss during UMTS–WLAN handoff. For low handoff delay, the proposed handoff scheme performs pre-registration and pre-authentication processes before layer 2 handoff. Moreover, it uses packet buffering and forwarding functions in order to reduce packet loss during the handoff period. On the above basis, detailed signaling procedures are presented, together with system requirements when a mobile terminal moves from UMTS to WLAN and vice-versa. Numerical results show that the proposed scheme performs well with respect to signaling cost, handoff delay, and packet loss compared with conventional schemes.     

End‐to‐end mobility support in content centric networks

Content‐centric networking (CCN) has been recently proposed as an alternative to traditional IP‐based networking. In CCN, content is accessed by content name instead of a host identifier (locational identifier). This new type of access methodology rapidly and efficiently disseminates content in combination with the in‐network caching mechanism. For practical use of CCN, many network properties studied in IP‐based networking are being revisited, and new types of CCN architecture components are being designed. Although mobility is an essential aspect of the future networking system, it has not been sufficiently studied. We therefore address fundamental mobility issues, such as seamless handover, optimal access point selection, network mobility, and handling of persistent interests. In addition, for each issue, we propose practical solutions that efficiently align to a CCN environment. To ensure seamless handoff, we propose various handoff schemes and compare their performance in terms of handoff latency using packet‐level simulation. Because our proposed schemes are consistent with the characteristics and rules of CCN, we believe that they can easily be integrated as a part of CCN. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Gateway performance for network‐controlled WLAN IP mobility

‘Always on’ broadband‐accessed network gateway (GW) control can facilitate inter‐WLAN IP mobility, with seamless connectivity. The GW server plays a critical role in the overall WLAN IP (WIP) mobility architecture (IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference, WCNC, Atlanta, GA, 21 March 2004; Int. J. Wireless Inf. Networks 2006; 13 (3):173–192). This paper provides a comparison of WIP with cellular IP (CIP) and mobile IP (MIP), and identifies the main requirements for a broadband‐accessed network‐based GW that supports WIP mobility. The paper then evaluates GW‐contributed handoff message processing delay in the WIP architecture through an analytical system model and OPNET simulation model, and provides a comparison of the GW‐contributed handoff message processing delays for non‐preemptive vs preemptive queuing schemes. Both analytical and simulation results show that WIP handoff message processing delay at the GW has negligible impact on the overall system delay. Finally, this paper presents the simulation results of the fast routing table lookup and forwarding speed on the GW overall performance, which can assist service providers in the challenging implementation issues that they face.

A seamless handoff scheme for IEEE 802.11 wireless networks

The advance of computer network technologies such as IEEE 802.11 wireless local area network has made it possible for users to connect to Internet almost anywhere. A mobile node (MN) is likely to move between different base stations while running applications. The IETF has defined the Mobile IP (MIP) to allow MNs to maintain their communication uninterrupted while roaming across different IP subnets. However, the mechanisms defined in MIP may cause undesired connection disruptions or packet losses, which will significantly degrade the quality of real‐time applications. It is an important and challenging issue to support seamless handoff management. To achieve seamless handoff, we propose a unified scheme to address application quality degradation. Our main contribution is the concept and implementation of utilising buffering and resending method to eliminate the packet losses while keeping the end‐to‐end delay of real‐time traffic flow in an acceptable value. The NS‐2 simulation results show that our proposed scheme can significantly maintain application quality during layer‐2 and ‐3 handoffs. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A seamless context-aware architecture for fourth generation wireless networks

The integration of a multitude of wireless networks is expected to lead to the emergence of the fourth generation (4G) of wireless technologies. Under the motivation of increasing the levels of user satisfaction while maintaining seamless connectivity and a satisfactory level of QoS, we design a novel cross-layer architecture that provides context-awareness, smart handoff and mobility control in heterogeneous wireless IP networks. We develop a Transport and Application Layer Architecture for vertical Mobility with Context-awareness (Tramcar). Tramcar presents a new approach to vertical handoff decisions, which is not exclusively based on network characteristics but also on higher level parameters which fall in the application and transport layers. Tramcar is tailored for a variety of different network technologies with different characteristics and has the ability of adapting to changing environment conditions and unpredictable background traffic. Furthermore, Tramcar allows users to identify and prioritize their preferences. Tramcar is a smart and practical system, which is more capable of dealing with 4G challenges. Simulation results demonstrate that Tramcar increases user satisfaction levels and network throughput under rough network conditions and reduces overall handoff latencies.
