Intelligent mobile IPv6 handover with multiple pre-registrations and late tunneling

In the IETFpsilas FMIPv6 protocol, if a prediction about a mobile node movement is incorrect, both large handover latency and packet loss may result. In this letter, we have proposed an intelligent mobile IPv6 handover scheme, called IMIPv6, which can remedy the above limitations of the FMIPv6. In the IMIPv6, multiple pre-registrations of CoAs, intelligent movement detection and late tunneling are employed to reduce handover latency and to eliminate packet loss. The simulation results show that the IMIPv6 can drastically reduce the handover latency, while eliminating packet loss.
