Description and evaluation of mobile IPv6 for interfaces

Mobility-based predictive call admission control and resource reservation for next-generation mobile communications networks.

“…In the new WHN where we have the cellular networks and the WLAN there are many reasons to perform handoff [55,66]: 1. Weak signal received from current AP (as before) 11. The RAN where the current BS/AP connected to it can't support the current type of service with the required QoS (the call is changing from voice to media).…”

Mobile IP applicability:when do we really need it?

“…It cannot distinguish between the different types of data content present in the packets it carries, and so has no way to handle them differently. There are some extensions [21][22][23][24] to Mobile IP to deal with the situation, but they lead to a more serious semantic problem. Higher-level protocols are more flexible to control traffic at flow or packet level.…”

Channel-Based Connectivity Management Middleware for Seamless Integration of Heterogeneous Wireless Networks

“…Mobile IP based vertical handoff [2] can be used for heterogeneous connections like WLAN and GPRS. Mobile IP binding update extension [3,4] can support multiple interfaces and data flow control. Host Identity Payload (HIP [5]) is a solution at mid networktransport layer (3.5 layer), in which a new name space is introduced for host identification.…”
