Abstract :
Mobile IP and SIGMA are handoff schemes at the network layer and the transport layer respectively. SIGMA is based on IP diversity and aims to improve the handoff performance over mobile IP by reducing the handoff latency. We compared the performance of the handoff schemes in an experimental test bed. Results show that SIGMA has a lower handoff latency when compared to mobile IP. Moreover, SIGMA can achieve a seamless handoff between two subnets.
