  2. Outline • Motivation • Vision • Key Contributions • Sample results • Conclusions and Future work

  3. Motivation • Cellular mobility typically involves handoff across homogeneous access technology • Optimization techniques are carefully engineered to improve the handoff performance • IP-based mobility involves movement across access technologies, administrative domains, at multiple layers and involve interaction between multiple protocols • Mechanisms and design principles for optimized handover are poorly understood • Currently there are ad hoc solutions for IP mobility optimization, not engineering practice • No formal methodology to systematically discover or evaluate mobility optimizations • No methodology for systematic evaluation or prediction of "run-time" cost/benefit tradeoffs

  5. What is the vision? • IP-based mobility needs to provide handoff performance comparable to cellular mobility • In order to transition ad hoc optimization approaches to engineering best practice we need the following: • Framework or model that can analyze the mobility event in a systematic way, can verify and predict the performance under systems resource constraints • A set of fundamental design principles to optimize handoff components across layers • A set of well defined methodologies to verify the optimization techniques for mobility in an IP-based network

  6. My Key Contribution • Identification of the fundamental properties that are rebound during handover event and systematic analysis of the operations that are intrinsic to handover • Modeling of the handover process that allows performance predictions to be made for both an un-optimized handover and for specific optimization methodologies under systems resource constraints and data dependency • Development of series of optimization techniques based on fundamental rules of optimization that could be applied to link, network, and application layers and preserve the user experience by optimizing the handover related delay and packet loss 4. Proof-of-concept of these handoff optimization techniques by building experimental systems and comparing these results with model-based prediction

  17. Modeling Mobility

  18. Why Mobility Model ? • Optimization techniques of a mobility event can be designed based on precedence relations amongst events and concurrent, conflicts or resource sharing type operations • Need a framework and model • to analyze and schedule handoff processes for systems optimization • to conduct trade-off analysis between systems resources and performance metrics • Specific expected results • Determine the maximum parallelism possible between handoff primitives • Determine handoff delays based on the execution of primitive operations under constraints of limits on parallelism and constraints on the use of shared resources • A methodology to verify the systems performance of a specific optimization technique • A methodology that can help design the optimal path of sequence of execution of events

  19. Specifics of IP-mobility model • Mobility event exhibits concurrent, sequential, conflicts or resource sharing behavior similar to a Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS) • Handoff-related processes can be modeled as Discrete Event Dynamic Systems (DEDS) that span across layers and include multiple protocols • I use Deterministic Timed Transition Petri Net (DTTPN) to evaluate and predict the performance of the system that demonstrates parallelism, optimistic or speculative operations

  20. Modeling Steps • Determine data dependency of mobility events • Analyze the resource consumption for handoff components • DEDS Modeling of various handoff components • Systems performance for handoff events • Scheduling of handoff functions • Verification of behavioral properties e.g., deadlock

  29. Verification of handover systems performance using Petri net • Cycle time of Deterministic Timed Petri net • Minimum cycle time (C) is an indicator of maximum performance • Determines which specific sequence of transition during a handover provides minimum handover delay • Floyd algorithm • S matrix is formed out of token loading matrix, transition matrix and distance matrix • Inspection of the diagonal elements of matrix “S” indicates whether systems meets the required performance • Resource Time Product (RTP) • Performance evaluation using MATLAB-based Petri net Tools • Coverability Tree, Incidence matrix help determine system behavior
