Abstract

Handover latency is the primary cause of packet loss resulting in performance degradation of the standard Mobile IPv6. Mobile IPv6 with fast Handover enables a Mobile Node (MN) to quickly detect at that IP layer it has moved to a new subnet by receiving link-related information from the link-layer; furthermore it gathers anticipative information about the new Access Point (AP) and the associated subnet prefix when the MN is still connected to the previous Corresponding Node (CN). This paper proposes an enhancement to Fast Mobile IPv6 Handover (FMIPv6), based on link layer information, we also present performance evaluations in terms of the packet loss and Handover latency using evaluation models.
