Abstract
The criteria used by state-of-the-art mobility protocols in their
handover decision-making are very limited. The protocols typically rely on
routing advertisements or signal strength measurements in mobility detection
but these criteria fail to reflect the actual transmission conditions in the
networks. Instead, more extensive information originating from both the mobile
node's local stack and the network should be employed to achieve more
informed handover decision-making. This paper introduces a framework and a
prototype implementation for improving the handover performance of Mobile IP
based on a variety of cross-layer and cross-domain triggers. The paper also
presents the first results obtained from testing the prototype that show the
usefulness of the approach.
