Abstract:

Aiming at the problem of link layer handover requires more signaling interaction, which increases the signal cost and handle delay when fast mobile IPv6 is used to wireless IEEE80216based relay networks, a fast handover scheme is proposed to apply fast mobile IPv6 to IEEE80216j networks, that determines the crosssubnet handover in advance through the interaction of link layer messages, so as to reduce the handover signal cost and speed up the handover. Simulations show that the handover signal cost and handover delay are decreased in proposed scheme.

Key words: IEEE80216 relay networks, fast mobile IPv6, fast handover
