Magazine 1 • A new method to support UMTS WLAN vertical handover using SCTP
Note Abstract • UMTS networks and WLANs • Third-generation cellular networks • UMTS/WLAN vertical handover problem • Overview of Mobile SCTP • VERTICAL HANDOVER PROCEDURES
UMTS networks and WLANs • UMTS • wide-area connectivity • low data rate • high mobility • WLANs • higher data rate • low mobility
Third-generation cellular networks • Both UMTS and WLANs • WLAN offer higher bandwidth • Mobile users accessing the Internet via UMTS/WLAN are free to move • Handover between UMTS and WLANs • MIP from IETF • provides transparent support for host mobility • routing architecture of mobile host • Difficult to maintain the continuity between UMTS and WLAN • Point of this article
UMTS/WLAN vertical handover problem • UMTS/WLAN vertical handover support via two types of SCTP • single-homing asymmetric configuration • dual-homing symmetric configuration • Integrated UMTS/WLAN network architecture • tightly coupled solutions :connect UMTS and WLAN • loose coupling solutions :separate out UMTS and WLAN • loose coupling offers several advantages over tight coupling
Overview of Mobile SCTP (1) • Originally for VoIP of 3GPP • Reliability • Multi-homing • established over multiple interfaces identified by multiple IP addresses • An SCTP association between two hosts, say, A and B, is defined as • {[a set of IP addresses at A] + [Port-A]} + {[a set of IP addresses at B] + [Port-B]}.
Overview of Mobile SCTP (2) • base version of SCTP cannot be used directly to support UMTS/ WLAN vertical handover • Fortunately, the recently proposed DAR extension for SCTP enables the endpoints to add, delete, or change the IP addresses during an active SCTP association using address configuration (ASCONF) messages. • basis of mSCTP
Overview of Mobile SCTP (3) • mSCTP • Using for supporting UMTS/WLAN vertical handover • capabilities to add, delete, and change the IP addresses dynamically during an active SCTP association
Overview of Mobile SCTP (4) • mSCTP Protocol architecture
VERTICAL HANDOVER PROCEDURES (1) • FS can also be configured for: • Single-homing: The FS provides only one IP address to support handover. • Dual-homing: The FS allows more than one (usually two) IP addresses to support • Handover procedure has three basic steps: • Add IP address • Vertical handover triggering • Delete IP address
VERTICAL HANDOVER PROCEDURES (2) • single-homing configuration
VERTICAL HANDOVER PROCEDURES (3) • dual-homing configuration
SIMULATION RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS (1) • use network simulator ns-2 to perform the simulations and obtain • set to be 384 kb/s for the UMTS link and 2 Mb/s for the WLAN link • delay is set to 100 ms • FTP traffic is started at the MC at time 1 s • handover triggering process is activated at time 5 s
SIMULATION RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS (2) • simulation results • UMTS-to-WLAN handover delay is 533 ms
SIMULATION RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS (3) • simulation results • WLAN-to-UMTS delay is 513 ms
SIMULATION RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS (4) • throughput performance for vertical handover in both directions

INTERWORKING MODEL AND REQUIREMENTS (1) • high-level WLAN/3G interworking model.
INTERWORKING MODEL AND REQUIREMENTS (2) • WLAN/3G interworking must • provide 3G-based authentication • support 802.1X access control • support the legacy UAM and open access control schemes
NETWORK SELECTION • MS needs to perform the following selection procedures • Select a WLAN that supports interworking with 3G PLMNs • MS must select one of the PLMNs • several solutions of network selection problem • broadcast an SSID with a suitable format • transmitting a probe request including a predefined well-known (3G-specific) SSID
INTERWORKING SCENARIOS (1) • Scenario 1 — Common Billing and Customer Care • Scenario 2 — 3G-Based Access Control and Charging • Scenario 3 — Access to 3G Packet-Switched Services • Scenario 4 — Access to 3G Packet-Switched-Based Services with Service Continuity • Scenario 5 — Access to 3G Packet-Switched-Based Services with Seamless Service Continuity • Scenario 6 — Access to 3G Circuit-Switched-Based Services with Seamless Mobility
3G-Based Access Control and Charging (1) • INTERWORKING ARCHITECTURE
3G-Based Access Control and Charging (2) • AAA SIGNALING
3G-Based Access Control and Charging (3) • AAA SIGNALING • MS sends its identity to the WLAN within an EAP-Response/Identity message • MS’s identity is NAI-1 • username@realm • WLAN discovers route AAA messages to the 3G PLMN corresponding to this realm • AAA access request is sent to the identified 3G PLMN over the Wr interface • WLAN sends network advertisement data to the MS • use a new EAP method called 3G-Info • XML structure
REFERENCE POINTS (1) • 3G internal interfaces • Wr/Wb • carries AAA signaling between the WLAN and the 3G / home PLMN in a secure manner • Support Radius by acrossWr/Wb • Ws/Wc • provides the same functionality as Wr/Wb but runs between a 3G AAA proxy and a 3G AAA server
REFERENCE POINTS (2) • Wf • transport charging information toward the 3G operator’s CGw/CCF located in the visited or home PLMN • Wo • used by the 3G AAA server to communicate with the 3G OCS
