Content Overview of Mobility Management Media Independent Handover – Standard Overview Operational

Overview of Mobility Management Mobility management includes: Location management Handover management Why to handover? When to handover? Which to handover to? Issues considered in handover Latency QoS Network resource utilization

Overview of Mobility Management Purposes of FMIPv6 and HMIPv6 FMIPv6  to reduce the handover latency HMIPv6  to reduce the handover frequency Traditional operation scenario of handover Scan for target Decide the target Decide the timing of handover Execute the handover Individual View!! Not Global View

How Does MN with Multiple Interfaces Help? Initiate/Comple te handoff while traversing in the overlapping area AR Internet AR  Acquire new CoA  Initiate handover AP  Probe  Authenticate Associate How big is the overlapping area to be useful & practical?

Handoff Distance Definition: distance traversed by a MN from acquiring a new CoA or initiation L2 handoff to completion of the handoff – handoff scheme (route optimization) – Processing (non-transport related) delay Function of –End-to-end delay –User speed –Packet loss rate

L3 Handoff Distance Handoff Distance (in meters) Max MN Moving Speed w/o route optimization Max MN Moving Speed with route optimization 10 Km 60 Km 120 Km 180 Km 10 Km 60 Km 120 Km 180 Km Max one- way packet delay 50 ms 75 ms 115 ms 0.6 (m) (m) For 99.9+% Packet Delivery

IEEE – Media Independent Handover (MIH) IEEE is initiated to develop a specification that provides link layer intelligence and other related network information to upper layers to optimize handovers between heterogeneous media. The IEEE standard supports cooperative use of both mobile nodes and network infrastructure.
