Novel Seamless Vertical Handoff Solution
نویسندگان
چکیده
-In this work we propose a seamless vertical handoff solution. We realize the seamlessness by adding a virtualinterface module into current Linux kernel. Different from the mobile-IP based-vertical-handoff systems, there is no need of extra agents or handoff servers in our system. In the experiment, we show that the handoff latency is so short that it is unnoticeable to the applications. Rebuilding transport layer connections is also not required during the period of the handoff. Our system is simple and can be applied to current IP network. Therefore, it is instantly ready for real-world deployment.

USHA: a practical vertical handoff solution
We present a seamless handoff solution, called Universal Seamless Handoff Architecture (USHA). USHA is simple and requires minimal modification to the current Internet infrastructure. Therefore, it is instantly ready for real-world deployment. Using testbed experiments, we evaluate USHA by observing TCP (FTP downloading) behavior in various vertical handoff scenarios. The results shows that USH...

متن کاملA Smart Decision Model for Vertical Handoff
As mobile computing increases in prevalence and popularity, it is becoming increasingly important to have a vertical handoff solution, which can perform a vertical handoff seamlessly and smartly. In this paper, we propose a Smart Decision Model to decide the “best” network interface and “best” time moment to handoff. A score function is utilized in the model to make the smart decision based on ...
