Contents • Introduction • Research Motivation and Scope • Problem Statement • Mobile WiMAX Architecture based on IEEE 802.16e • Mobility in Mobile WiMAX • IEEE 802.21 and Handover Procedures • Simulation Setup • Performance Evaluation and Analysis • Conclusion and Future Work • Q&A
Introduction • Broadband Wireless Access • Covergence toward ”All IP Networks” • IEEE 802.16 an important 4G contender • Mobility,nomadicity and portability Challenges • Triple Play (Voice,Video and Data) • Quardruple Play and Killer Application • Mobility and session continuation • Varying QoS requirements Figure: Bandwidth vs. Mobility
Research Motivation and Scope Research Motivation • Analysis of mobility in Mobile WiMAX • Measurement of handoff delay and packet losses • Handoff latency analysis for realistic scenario Scope • Handover type will be hard handover i.e. break-before-make • Host based mobility procedures • Handover is terminal initiated depending upon received signal strength indication (RSSI). • Mobile IPv6 based mobility procedures implemented in MN • Inter-ASN handover procedures are within the scope of this thesis. • Inter-NAP (Network Access Provider) handover are not considered due to roaming and other contractual agreement reasons.
Problem Statement • What is the effect of mobility on real time and multimedia applications at higher speeds during handovers in Mobile WiMAX? • How and when it is suitable to trigger handoff when MS is changing its attachment point frequently from one BS to another BS?

Mobility in Mobile WiMAX Mobility a promminent feature of Mobile WiMAX “Handover (HO) is the process when MS moves from the air-interface provided by one BS to the air-interface provided by another BS” [1]. Mobility in WiMAX can be classified into two domains • Access Service Network Anchored Mobility • Connectivity Service Network Anchored Mobility

IEEE 802.21/Media Independent Handover MIH/IEEE 802.21 enables handover between hetrogenous networks (e.g 802.11, 802.16e,UMTS,Ethernet) Optimization and interoperability MIH Events Service MIH Command Service MIH Information Services

Simulation Setup Mobility is evaluated via simulation based on NS-2 with NIST mobility package for WiMAX MIPv6 Agent Neighbour Discovery Module MIH Agent
Handoff Latency Analysis for Realistic Scenario There can be four major communication scenarios between the MS and CN MS and HA are located close to each other, but far from CN MS is close to CN but far from HA MS is far from both CN and HA MS is located close to both CN and HA

Conclusion • Evaluated handoff procedures in Mobile WiMAX • MIH integrates cross layer inforamtion • Two important triggers LD and LGD • Higher packet losses and delay using LD • Performacne improvement using LGD
Future Work Traditionally RSSI is the main handoff metric • Cost of service • Available Bandwidth • Power and QOS requirements • User preferences • Network conditions
