A SCTP – Layer 2 Cross Layer Mechanism for Data Handover in Wireless Networks (application to EGPRS)
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes a new extension for the SCTP pro tocol which aims at improving the transport performance in wire less environments. This extension is named QoS_Measurement_chunk. It relies a) on a cross-layer mechanism taking place between SCTP and the link layer and b) on a new SCTP control chunk. Network can be informed of variations of link layer transmission conditions via control QoS_Measurement_chunks and SCTP congestion control para meters are modified to take into account new radio conditions. The present study illustrates the use of this extension in a EGPRS context. It compares its performances with standard SCTP when downlink transmission is considered in handoff situation.

SCTP-multihoming for intra and inter-RAT data handover management
SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) provides interesting features, as multihoming and multistreaming, to enhance information transport performances over air interfaces. Additional extensions have been proposed to adapt SCTP to wireless context (mSCTP: mobile SCTP). However, published approaches do not take into account channel state information during handover processes. The present wor...
متن کاملReceiver-assisted cellular/wifi handover management for efficient multipath multimedia delivery in heterogeneous wireless networks
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...
متن کاملMobile SCTP for IP Mobility Support in All-IP Networks
The Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) is a new transport protocol that is featured multi-streaming and multi-homing. Until now, the two approaches have been considered for IP mobility management: Mobile IP in the network layer and SIP in the application layer scheme. In this paper, we discuss the use of SCTP for IP mobility support in the transport layer. We provide a framework of the...
متن کاملOn the Layer based Seamless Handover Schemes for Mobile Data Network
This paper presents seamless handover schemes survey based on layer approach. Efficient handover scheme is very important in order to minimize the handover latency in mobile network. Latency is mainly affected when new IP address has to be obtained in layer 3 and layer 4 handover mechanisms because this is processed by software. Therefore, we have to focus on the exact mechanism to obtain new I...
