Outline • Introduction • Vertical Handoff Process • Recent Vertical Handoff Management Techniques • Challenges for Mobility Management in Future • Conclusion
Introduction • Mobile wireless technology has gained tremendous popularity due to its ability to provide ubiquitous information access to users on the move. • Some key features of next generation heterogeneous access networks include: • IP-based • Multimodal devices • High usability with anytime, anywhere connectivity • Support for multimediaservices with low transmission cost • Support for telecommunication, and data services
Vertical Handoff Process • The vertical handoff process may be divided into three phases: • 1. Network Discovery • 2. Handoff Decision • Cost, Battery power, Application types, Network conditions, and Mobile node conditions • 3. Handoff Implementation • Candidate Access Router Discovery (CARD) • Context Transfer Protocol (CTP)
Vertical Handoff Process • Candidate Access Router Discovery (CARD) • RFC 4066 • Application: Fast Mobile IP
Vertical Handoff Process • Context Transfer Protocol (CTP) • IETF draft Feb. 2005 • Proactive and reactive Proactive Reactive
Recent Vertical Handoff Management Techniques • Recent Vertical Handoff Management Techniques • Mobile IP (MIP) • Hierarchical Mobile IP (HMIP) • HandOff Protocol for OVERlay networks (HOPOVER) • SCTP-based Vertical Handoff • SIP-based Vertical Handoff
Recent Vertical Handoff Management Techniques ─ HOPOVER Pre-registration Buffer data
Recent Vertical Handoff Management Techniques ─ SCTP-based • Multi-homing • Transport layer mobility protocol • Support for smooth handoff
Recent Vertical Handoff Management Techniques ─ SCTP-based Internet
Challenges for Mobility Management in Future • Multimodality • Efficient and seamless roaming • Quality of service • Billing and pricing • Inter-service provider compliance
Conclusion • Authors have presented a detailed discussion of various components of handoff management as well as recent handoff techniques for mobility across heterogeneous wireless access networks. • Authors also present and discuss limitations of recent handoff design architectures and protocols as well as outstanding challenges.
