Abstract :
In ubiquitous network environment, mobility is supported among various networks. When a user enjoying the media streaming service changes his attachment point, the service need to be provided continuously. In this paper, we propose a mechanism to provide seamless mobility for a user using RFID tag. We build a test bed for user mobility, and confirm that the seamless service can be provided according to the user movement. Also, we measure service delay time in case of moving a user to new access network.
