Abstract

FHMIPv6 was only designed to provide local mobility management, it still suffers from a lengthy handoff latency and packet loss during the handoff process when Mobile Node(MN) moves to a new network or different technology with a very high speed. Even more, since detecting MNs' detachment  and  attachment  events  remains  challenging  in  many  wireless  networks,  increase handoff latency. Such long handoff latency might disrupt seamless communication session and some interruptions. For example, handoff that might reach hundreds of milliseconds would not be acceptable for delay-sensitive applications like video streaming and video conference.

The use of the Media Independent Information Service (MIIS) in the IEEE 802.21 Media Independent Handover (MIH) framework to improve handoff performance for Fast Handoff in hierarchical Mobile IPv6 is explored. Integrating FHMIPv6 and MIH has been the concern of the proposal in optimizing handoff latency. This solution tries to preserve the quality of the streaming video upon each handoff, recovering the user video session spoiled by the high delay caused by MIP. The performance of the handoff latency, packet loss, throughput and video transmission quality were simulated tool using NS-2.

Keywords
