  3. Mobile IPv6 New CoA MN Old CoA Subnet A Subnet B

  4. Mobile IPv6 – Handover Enhancement • In some cases, an MN can be reachable through multiple wireless links from physically neighboring APs. If these APs are on different subnets, the MN can configure a care-of address for each of them.

  5. Mobile IPv6 – Handover Enhancement (cont.) HA AR AR 1. Rt. Adv. 2. BU to HA on the old Link old care-of address instead of the home address MN 3. Forwarding packets

  6. Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 • Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 is designed to minimize the amount of signaling to correspondent(s) and to the home agent by allowing the MN to locally register in a domain.

  7. Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 (cont.) Regional registration Local registration MN e.g., a campus

  8. Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 (cont.) • MN can choose between basic mode and extended mode. • Basic mode • The MN has two addresses: a regional care-of address based on the mobility anchor point prefix and an on-link care-of address based on the current AR prefix. • In this scheme, the mobility anchor point acts as a home agent.

  9. Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 (cont.) • Extended mode • In extended mode, the regional care-of address is (one of) the mobility anchor point address(es). • The mobility anchor point keeps a binding table with the current on-link care-of address of an MN matched with the MN home address. • When it receives the packets destined to an MN, it detunnels and retunnels them to the on-link care-of address. • This implies that each packet must contain the MN home address.

  10. Fast Handover • The Fast Handover Protocol allows an AR to offer services to an MN in order to anticipate the L3 handover. • The movement anticipation is based on the L2 triggers. • The main L2 triggers used are the following: Link Up, Link Down, L2 Handover Start. • Fast Handover uses these L2 triggers to optimize the MN movements in two methods: anticipated handover and tunnel-based handover.

  11. Fast Handover – Anticipated Handover

  12. Fast Handover – Tunnel-Based Handover • It only performs an L2 handover and continues to use its old care-of address in the new subnet. • Moreover, the MN does not need to exchange any packets: the two ARs set up a bidirectional tunnel from the L2 triggers without interacting with the MN.

  13. MIPv6 Evaluation Over 802.11b • measure L2 handover latency (the disruption time to establish the new connection after disconnecting from the old access point) and L3 handover (L2 handover plus the time needed to acquire and register a new valid care-of address) • Single user  1 • Multiple users  4 • Only Mobile IPv6
