| Summary: | Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) allows mobile devices to be always
addressed by its home address. This paper describes a
micro-mobility based test-bed development with
enhanced mobile IPv6 features including multicast
function and hierarchical design. The test-bed is hardware
and software based comprising of five Personal
Computers (PCs) and one laptop. The laptop represents
the Mobile Node (MN) while the functions of the PCs are
as follows; two as Access Points (AP), one as Home
Agent (HA), and the other two as Foreign Multicast
Router (MR) and Correspondent Node (CN) respectively.
This test-bed is used to analyze handover delay, packet
delay, packet loss, throughput and overall throughput in
real wireless environment for conventional handover and
enhanced mobile IPv6 handover scenarios. The results
show the enhanced handover scheme reduces handover
delay 94.32%(4.35s to 0.2s), packet delay by 84.43%(0.7s
to 0.109s), packet loss from 44 to zero packet while the
throughput and overall throughput were increased by
approximately 117.34% and 124.3% respectively over
the conventional system. Finally, it can be concluded that
the proposed scheme gives advantages of higher
throughput, zero packet loss and lower delays and can
significantly improve micro mobility performance of 3G,
4G and beyond mobile communication systems. |
