“…The proposed mechanism prevents the packet loss problem, which previous mechanisms based on SCTP have not considered [9,10]. Moreover, the proposed mechanism enables the mobile node obtains its session key actively throughout a tunnel established between the previous access router and the new access router when the mobile node moves.…”

“…Thus, the SCTP based handover mechanism introduced in [9] results in reduction of handover latency and cost. In [10], the authors have focused on the multipath transmission feature of SCTP and adopted this one to improve the handover performance. They have presented that the multi-path transmission helps to reduce packet retransmission and re-ordering problems.…”

In this paper, we introduce a session key distribution mechanism for fast secure handover in wireless mobile networks. The proposed mechanism is based on the stream control transmission protocol in where a mobile node actively changes its IP address without its connection loss. When a mobile node moves between different access routers, the required session key at a new access router is distributed previously through the tunnel established between the previous access router and the new access router. Due to the reduced key distribution time, the mobile node achieves its secure seamless handover. The provided performance analysis proves that the proposed mechanism provides the reduced signaling cost compared to existing mobility protocols. In addition, the proposed mechanism reduces the handover latency so that the reduced amount of packet loss provides the stable handover performance for real-time applications.

“…According to the proposed SCTP standard [5], an SCTP sender need to detect the primary path error count (denoted as P 2 error count) and conduct primary path handover once the value of P 2 error count exceeds the maximum number of consecutive timeouts Path Max Retrans [28]. Such a sender-centric failoverbased handover mechanism will inevitably degrade the SCTP performance due to (i) failure detection on the primary path is a time-consuming process (more than 60 s [11]) and (ii) frequent "ping-pong" primary path handover may increase the sender's load and overhead.…”

In a heterogeneous wireless environment, mobility particularly vertical handover between WiFi and cellular data service has to be supported. The support for multihoming feature makes Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) become a promising transport layer-based handover scheme for end users. Although the benefits of applying SCTP for multimedia delivery and handover have been proved to be extremely useful, there are still many challenges that remain: (i) current sender-centric SCTP handover management solutions fail to balance the computational overhead between a sender and receiver and (ii) they also suffer from performance degradation due to the rigid three-duplicated-SACK-based loss detection and recovery strategy. This paper proposes SCTP-Rev + , a new receiver-assisted cellular/WiFi handover management mechanism for SCTP-based multimedia transport aiming to (i) optimize SCTP handover management and achieve overhead balancing between the sender and receiver, by moving path estimation and handover decision operations from the sender onto receiver and (ii) improve SCTP loss recovery ability and multimedia delivery performance, by providing SCTP with a simple but effective retransmission-aware loss detection/recovery mechanism. We show that the proposed solution outperforms the current SCTP schemes in terms of goodput performance and multimedia delivery quality.

“…However, methods at this layer require modifications for each different network interface that needs to be supported and, moreover, switching the data segments of the same Transport Control Protocol (TCP) session over different network links, even in homogeneous networks, adversely affects TCP performance [7], [10]. At the transport layer, two main areas can be distinguished: one concentrating on the use of SCTP (e.g., see [11], [12], [13]) and the other on using or modifying TCP. Within the IETF, SCTP has evolved from a transport protocol for voice-signaling traffic into one that allows various types of information to be transported over different network paths.…”

Abstract-Surrounded by a multitude of wireless networks, users can nowadays experience significant performance improvements when smartly combining multiple networks concurrently (e.g., for transferring files). This phenomenon is called Concurrent Access (CA). Some users, which are referred to as foreground (FG) users, are able to access and utilize multiple networks simulateneously. The traffic streams from the FG users are optimized over multiple networks, in the presence of background (BG) users that can use only one network. In the literature a variety of traffic splitting algorithms have been proposed, with a focus on improving the performance of the FG users, whereas the influence of smart traffic splitting on the performance experienced by the BG users, as well as the resulting splitting ratios over the different networks, have received hardly attention. In this paper, we evaluate and compare the performance of these algorithms with respect to three quality metrics: (1) the file transfer performance of the FG traffic, (2) the file transfer performance of the BG traffic, and (3) the traffic splitting ratios, i.e. the fractions of traffic that is sent over each of the access networks. Our simulationsbased results provide a number of valuable insights in the pros and cons of the different job splitting and assignment algorithms.
