IP based Seamless Mobility Support in Heterogeneous Networks – Evaluation of Handover Mechanisms for Future Heterogeneous 3GPP Networks

Keywords: Heterogeneous Network, Seamless Mobility, MIPv6/FMIPv6, Make Before Break, Handover Latency

Mobile IP (MIP) protocols are candidates for seamless mobility support in heterogeneous networks with different radio access technologies. Handover requirements are analysed by Random-Way-Point mobility simulations. We then simulated packet loss, delay and network load during MIP and Fast MIP handover to identify the main contributions to handover latency. Best performance is found for MIP in Make-Before-Break scenario.
