  Abstract

In this paper we report the development of mobility test bed, the realization of basic protocol that supports L3 mobility and the measurement of performance parameters that can affect handover performance. Previously proposed mobility management system, BBM (Break Before Make) method such as MIPv6 and Fast MIPv6, uses one interface in wireless network. In this method, to connect to new AP, it first disconnects existing AP and tries to connect to new AP. This can cause packet loss for the traffic vulnerable to delay such as VoIP. To provide seamless handover between different wireless networks, we propose MBB (Make Before Break) handover method having two network interfaces. Comparative study of previous method and proposed method on mobility and handover was conducted under simulated real environment on the test bed. Almost no packet loss was found with newly proposed method. In conclusion, it is shown that mobility protocol with proposed handover method can be applied to the application services sensitive to delay and packet loss.
