“…The efficiency of FMIPv6 protocol operation depends largely on link-layer (L2) triggering. The timing as well as the criteria upon which such triggers are generated directly impacts the performance of FMIPv6 [36], [37]. If generated too early, it causes higher probability of wrong handover prediction while, if generated too late, the MN may go into the reactive mode, thus incurring high packet losses.…”

The emerging mobility management schemes for the fifth generation (5G) of mobile networks mostly follow the network-based protocol principles, which do not involve the mobile node (MN) in their operation. Such solutions have not been able to meet the ultra-low handover latency requirement in complex mobility scenarios in 5G. These objectives can be potentially achieved through increased involvement of MN in the handover operation, which can now be conveniently effectuated through virtualization technologies. In this regard, the classical host-based Fast Handovers for Mobile IPv6 (FMIPv6) protocol has the potential to offer several benefits due to its distinctive features, such as link-layer assistance for handover preparation, in-advance new care-of address formulation, and buffering services. Several enhancements to the FMIPv6 protocol have also been proposed, which improve its handover performance. Many of these enhancements focus on the baseline FMIPv6 specification, while others aim to enhance its operation by adding support features, such as mobile multicast, vertical handovers, quality of service assurance, as well as security support. Moreover, several enhancements to the access-technology-specific solutions for FMIPv6 have also been proposed. This paper aims to provide a systematic review of FMIPv6 enhancements in order to gain insight into its advantages as well as its shortcomings. Based on the review, this paper also discusses the evolution prospects of FMIPv6 toward 5G. Finally, some of its potential limitations along with possible research directions in the context of 5G are also indicated.

“…In [18,19], the authors used the IEEE 802.21 media-independent handover services [20,21]. The authors in this study mentioned that the FMIPv6 lacks accurate timing, the ultimate criterion of L2 triggers, leading to a significant impact on the handover performance of FMIPv6.…”

Seamless handover process is essential in order to provide efficient communication between mobile nodes in wireless local area networks. Despite the importance of a signal strength prediction model to provide seamless handovers, it is not embedded in standard mobility management protocols. In this article, we propose a smart handover prediction system based on curve fitting model to perform the handover (CHP) algorithm. The received signal strength indicator parameter, from scanning phase, is considered as an input to the CHP in order to provide a prediction technique for a mobile node to estimate the received signal strength value for the access points in the neighborhood and to select the best candidate access point from them in an intelligent way. We implemented the proposed approach and compared it with standard protocols and linear regression-based handover prediction approach. Simulation results in complex wireless environments show that our CHP approach performs the best by predicting the received signal strength value with up to 800 ms in advance from real obtained value via scanning phase. Moreover, our CHP approach is the best in terms of layer 2 and overall handover latency, in comparison with standard protocols and linear regression approach, respectively.A. S. SADIQ ET AL. model, is responsible for detecting the potential handover and obtaining the decision to perform the handover procedure. The second layer, the network layer or layer 3 (L3) in the Open Systems Interconnection model, becomes involved in the handover process just when the MN enters the network domain of a different subnet [2]. The MN, to be able to maintain the network connectivity, requires to execute the L3 signaling in order to obtain a new Internet Protocol (IP) address. An interruption occurs when MN is going to change its place across different access routers (ARs) in the range of movement. This is known as the time required to change the wireless network link and then to return back to routability. In other words, it is identified as a handover latency mentioned in [3], which consists of several levels of delay distributed over handover process levels.The handover can be defined as the time spent changing from one point of attachment AR to another. During this time, the MN is not able to send or receive data. Thus, the connection may be interrupted, and packets may be lost or delayed because of intermediate buffers [3,4]. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) developed Mobile IP (MIP) to tackle the handover latency issue by utilizing efficient mobility management. IETF has designed two versions of MIPs: Mobile IPv4[5] and Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) [6]. MIPv6 has recently been used as a mobility protocol supported with IPv6 addressing, and its process scheme is illustrated in Figure 1. We can observe the signaling scheme of MIPv6 protocol during MN roaming process among previous AR (PAR), new AR (NAR), home agent (HA), and corresponded node (CN) (a node that communicates with an MN that is out of its own network). This mobility ...

The aviation community is currently working on the standardization of data communication systems for the future air traffic management. In this context, International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has initiated a work on standardization of an IPv6-based aeronautical telecommunications network and on future radio access technologies, respectively. In this paper, we integrate L-Band Digital Aeronautical Communications System Option 1 (L-DACS 1), which is one candidate for future radio access technologies, with realistic IPv6-based network layer functionality and analyze the effect of handover delay to the TCP performance. Realistic Frame Error Rate (FER) values obtained from an L-DACS 1 physical layer simulator, which uses a realistic aeronautical channel model, are used in the simulation experiments. In the first stage, we decreased layer 3 handover latency by removing the Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) procedure for address configuration. In the second stage, we introduced a Home Agent (HA)-buffering method, which is used to buffer the traffic (destined to the mobile node) during handover. Transmission completion time is the primary performance metric in our analysis. With the HA-buffering method, the transmission completion time is reduced by at least 10% for the transmission of 110 kB of information over a wireless link with 31.5 kbit s −1 data rate.
