A prediction-based smooth handoff mechanism and its performance evaluation

Aiming at the existing problems of current handoff mechanisms in micro-mobility protocols, prediction-based smooth handoff mechanism is proposed. This mechanism takes advantage of mobility prediction technique to predict the next cell which a mobile host will handoffto and the handofftime before the handoffreally happens. Based on the prediction result the new path for the mobile host is established in advance. To guarantee the implementation of this handoff mechanism, a simple mobility prediction algorithm which is easy to implement, namely SMPA algorithm, is proposed. The performance of the prediction-based smooth handoff mechanism is evaluated through theoretical analysis and system simulation. The result shows that this handoff mechanism obtains considerable performance improvement with less cost.
