Viable Modifications to Improve Handover Latency in MIPv6

Abstract

Various Handover techniques and modifications for Handover in MIPv6 come into light during past few years. Still the problem remains, such as quality of services, better resource utilization during Handover and Handover latency. This paper focuses on such problems within various Handover techniques and proposes some modifications to reduce the Handover latency. This also improves the quality of services related with Handover in MIPv6. Experimental results presented in this paper shows that the Handover latency in MIPv6 will be reduced by applying these proposed modifications. This paper is organized in following sections: section I gives the introduction, Section II presents the Basic operations for MIPv6 Handover, Section III focuses on the related work with background, Section IV proposes modifications and Section V concludes the paper while underlining future prospects in this domain.
