“…Although our proposal is based on the pre-registration handoff method, we present different handoff procedures considering the authentication process and characteristics of both UMTS and WLAN systems, and use minimum signaling messages to decrease latency and signaling costs. Here, we do not apply the basic concept of the post-registration handoff scheme because of the tunneling requirements between two FAs of WLAN and UMTS and the difficulty of performing the post-authentication process [18].…”

Interworking issues between Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) have become a great matter of interest as an increasing number of mobile internet users require broadband wireless access to IP services in the wide area. In this paper, we present a practical UMTS-WLAN interworking architecture based on 3GPP standards and propose a seamless handoff scheme that guarantees low delay and low packet loss during UMTS-WLAN handoff. For low handoff delay, the proposed handoff scheme performs pre-registration and pre-authentication processes before layer 2 handoff. Moreover, it uses packet buffering and forwarding functions in order to reduce packet loss during the handoff period. On the above basis, detailed signaling procedures are presented, together with system requirements when a mobile terminal moves from UMTS to WLAN and vice-versa. Numerical results show that the proposed scheme performs well with respect to signaling cost, handoff delay, and packet loss compared with conventional schemes.

Abstract.Handoff latency affects the service quality of real-time applications. In this paper we develop an analytical model to analyze the Mobile IP Fast Authentication protocol (MIFA) and compare it to Hierarchical Mobile IP (HMIP). The study compares the signaling costs of the protocols as well as the overall load for packet forwarding. Our study shows that MIFA minimizes the packet delivery cost compared to HMIP. Additionally, MIFA is more efficient when the arrival rate of the packets increases. Thus MIFA outperforms HMIP with respect to signaling cost. From the performance point of view MIFA performs similar to HMIP when the domain consists of two hierarchy levels only, and outperform HMIP otherwise. However, MIFA does not require a hierarchical network architecture as HMIP does.

Mobile IP has been developed to provide the continuous information network access to mobile users. The performance of Mobile IP mobility management scheme is dependent on traffic characteristics and user mobility. Consequently, it is important to assess this performance in-depth through these factors. This paper introduces a novel analytical model of handoff management in mobile IP networks. The proposed model focuses on the effect the traffic types and their frame error rates on the handoff latency. It is derived based on general distribution of both successful transmission attempts and the residence time to be applicable in all cases of traffic characteristics and user mobility. The impact of the behavior of wireless connection, cell residence time, probability distribution of transmission time and the handoff time is investigated. Numerical results are obtained and presented for both TCP and UDP traffics. As expected, the reliability of TCP leads to higher handoff latency than UDP traffic. It is shown that, higher values of FER increase the probability of erroneous packet transfer across the link layer. A short retransmission time leads to end the connection most likely in the existing FA; however a long retransmission time leads to a large delivery time. The proposed model is robust in the sense that it covers the impact of all the effective parameters and can be easily extended to any distribution.
