With the advancement in technology and exponential growth of mobile devices, network traffic has increased manifold cellular networks. Due to this reason, latency reduction become a challenging issue for devices. In order achieve seamless connectivity minimal disruption during movement, is crucial handover authentication process. Handover process which legitimacy node checked when it crosses bo...

In general IP multicast supports location-independent addressing and routing for a group of hosts. This ability is similar to the requirement for mobility support in IP-based networks though in a different context. MOMBASA stands for “MObility support – a Multicast BASed Approach”. It is intended to utilise multicast in order to support network level mobility. The basic mechanism of a multicast...

IEEE 802.11b networks are becoming more ubiquitous. While roaming through access points, a mobile node is often required to perform a link layer handover. This mechanism causes connection losses and breaks in time-sensitive communication, especially if a network layer handover follows the link layer handover. In this paper, we propose to reduce handoff latency for IEEE 802.11 wireless networks ...

While mobile nodes (MNs) undergo handovers across inter-wireless access networks, their security contexts must be propagated for secure re-establishment of on-going application sessions, such as those in secure mobile internet protocol (IP), authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) services. Routing security contexts via an IP network either on-demand or based on MNs’ mobility predic...
