Fast handover support in a WLAN environment: challenges and perspectives

Abstract: he explosion of mobile data communications, the emergence of multitechnology environments with diverse capabilities, the integration of such environments at both terminal and network sides, and the great variety of offered end-user services have completely changed the role of handover management, which nowadays faces the challenge of adaptation to such heterogeneous and multiparametric environments. Traditionally, handover management in cellular networks is carried out by technology-specific mechanisms since i… Show more

“…[5−7] are the multicast extensions based on FMIPv6 and follow the main signaling flow of FMIPv6 protocol. So these mechanisms have small handover delay theoretically, but in essence, they inherit the shortcoming of that FMIPv6 heavily depends on the L2 trigger and mobile anticipation [8] .…”

“…This protocol has been proposed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). It comes to address the following problem: How to allow an MN to send packets as soon as it detects a new subnet link and how to deliver packets to an MN as soon as its attachment is detected by the New Access Router (NAR) (Dimopoulou et al, 2005). It reduces the movement detection latency by anticipating handover and preparing the MN with the information about the NAR before disconnection from the current access router.…”

“…Obviously, handoff protocols need to preserve MNs' network connectivity as they move from one network to another, while simultaneously reducing disruption to ongoing call/data sessions. Therefore, minimizing handoff delay and maximizing session continuity are always the primary goals of handoff management [8]. Generally, handoff seamlessness means lower packet losses, minimal handoff latencies, lower signaling overheads and limited handoff failures [4].…”
