Abstract:Handover procedure of modern cellular wireless networks depends on IP-based technology. IETF Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) protocol guarantees the Quality of Service (Qos) in fast handover moving while it does not support realtime communications between two mobile nodes. Therefore Cluster Mobile Node (CMN) algorithm was proposed to reduce handover delay in the system by applied Media Independent Handover (MIH) Technology. Also, the algorithm extended PMIPv6 protocol with an Aggregated Proxy Binding Update (A-PBU) scheme in the paper. Finally, the network model and mobile model were simulated and the effectiveness of handover delay was analyzed. Quantitative results show a significant reduction in handover delay compared with the original handover algorithm.
