In this thesis, performances of some Mobile IP handoff schemes have been compared. The comparison has been based on simulation results. Simulation study has been carried out with a MIP model developed using OMNeT++ and available model frameworks.
The literature on Mobile IP and several improvements including handoff management schemes have been surveyed. A MIP model has been constructed and then validated with the help of some scenarios in the literature, especially the one found in [7]. The model has been then used to investigate performances of FMIP. The study also included performance of FMIP under local traffic where mobile hosts communicate with each other in the same domain.
Simulations are carried out under several scenarios involving UDP and TCP transfers. Mobile host speed and base station buffer size variables have been changed throughout the simulations.
The result show that use of L2 triggers reduces handoff latency as both FMIP Post-Reg and Pre-Reg have better performance than HMIP without L2 triggers. The results also show that FMIP Post-Reg is a good candidate for future MIP infrastructures with its low latency handoff characteristics due to bidirectional tunneling between old and new points of attachment. Moreover, the results suggest that FMIP Post-Reg is also the best handoff scheme under local traffic where mobile hosts communicate among each other in the same foreign network.
