Performance Analysis And Optimization Of Hmipv6 And Fmipv6 Handoff Management Protocols

Seamless communication is becoming the main aspect for the next generation of the mobile and wireless networks. Roaming among multiple wireless access networks connected together through one IP core makes the mobility support for the internet is very critical and more important research topics nowadays. Mobile IP is one of the most successful solutions for the mobility support in the IP based networks, but it has poor performance in term of handover delay. Many improvements have been done to reduce the handover delay, which result in two new standards: the Hierarchical MIP (HMIPv6) and the Fast MIP (FMIPv6). In this paper we present an analysis of handoff management protocols HMIPv6 and FMIPv6 in supporting mobility and latency reduction.
