“…This will omit the process cost in nAR. In reality, the total process of CARD is reported as 500 ms by several experiments [10] from which the major portion belongs to the processing portion of the algorithm. DAD procedure is reported to take around 1000 ms and each message exchange time between fixed nodes is 10 ms. Round-trip transmission between MN and each of the nodes could vary between 50 ms and 500 ms.…”

“…The network condition is set to be free of any congestion so that the delays pertaining to long network access due to queue congestions in AR is eliminated. The ARs are collocated with Access Points (AP) [10] as a true representation of real life situations while the Node_b is apart from RNC and covers a large cell. The MN uses two interfaces to WLAN and UMTS networks with the related MAC layer in each interface.…”

Inter-technology roaming is known as one of the interesting challenges toward fourth generation of mobile and wireless communication. While FMIPv6 standardizes the fast handoff solutions in IP layer, the issues of media independency are being investigated through IEEE802.21 project. The integration of these two standards is believed to result in solutions for vertical handoffs between different network technologies. This paper presents an improved link layer mechanism to assist FMIPv6 for seamless vertical handoffs. We introduce a new access router discovery method and propose a vertical handoff algorithm accordingly. Further, we report the implementation details performed through simulations. The simulations evidence performance improvements in terms of latency and packet loss. It is also analytically shown that by enabling access router discovery method and improving link layer event services, an MN can be well prepared for handoff and perform faster movements.Index Terms -Vertical handoff, Heterogeneous networks, FMIPv6, MIH, Access router discovery.

“…The information of received signal strength level from physical layer and available bandwidth of network layer are common parameters to determine when to initialize handover. There are qualitative analysis in [13,14] shown that the effects of MIPv6 and FMIPv6. From these analysis, it is evident that link-layer triggers are required to aid the IP handover preparation and execution, and crosslayer information exchange can speed up the handover procedure.…”
