Handoff In All IP Networks 2000. 5. 18 ~ 5. 19 Shinhyun Yang yangsh@hei.co.kr Hyundai Electronics Industry Co., Ltd.
Overview of All IP • Characteristics of All IP Network • Move IP as close to the Air network as possible (e.g. BTS). • Make the radio access network simply another link layer • Reuse of existing IP protocols and Applications • Provide a handoff mechanism that equals to or exceeds current cellular performance, and works for both voice and data. • Main Issues of All IP Network • Mobility Management Model • Call Control Model • Addressing and Naming, and etc. 1
Overview of Mobility Management • Importance of Mobility Management • One of the most important function in Mobile Communication • Pure IP protocol have never considered it. • Quality of Handoff is most important factor for Service Provider and User, where Handoff can be supported by Mobility Management functionality. • Hierarchical Mobility Management • Macro Mobility • Micro Mobility 2
Handoff requirements in All IP Network From Lucent’s contribution in April (ALLIP-20000426-014_LT-Reqts_Sect_6.3.doc) 3
Handoff in All IP Network • General Requirements for H/O Scheme • low latency • no data loss • scalability to a large internetwork All IP • All IP specific Issues • speedy resource reservation on IP. • reducing HA and FA overhead • soft H/O scheme 4
Handoff in All IP Network (Cont.) • Mobile IP • Provides the “macro” mobility • Triangular routing and tunneling management problem • The Route Optimization provides the framework needed for fast handoff but still remain long latency problem : data loss might be occurred in inter-FA registration process • arise HA and FA bottleneck problem • Cellular IP • Solves the “micro” mobility • Minimize packet losses and degradation of QoS during handoff • Interwork with Mobile IP to support wide area mobility 5
Handoff in All IP Network (Cont.) • Hierarchical Mobility management • Hierarchical FAs : a domain FA and one or more subnet FAs • Reduces handoff latency and the load on the internetwork • Hierarchical MM with Pre-resource Allocation scheme • Resource consuming • Mobile IP with SIP • Shorter path than only Mobile IP • DHCP address allocation (similar latency with Mobile IP) 6
Conclusion • To reduce handoff latency, hierarchical FA architecture can be acceptable (e.g. regional registration) • It also can be the way to reduce HA or FA overload • To reduce data losses, Soft H/O or retransmission buffer scheme is required • To support Soft H/O, modified wireless layer 2 protocol or enhanced PPP is required • To support scalability to a large internetwork, mixture protocol with Mobile IP can be a promising solution. 7
