    Abstract:

    Mobile IP (MIP) is the current standard for supporting mobility in wireless mobile networks. However, the latency and packet losses faced during handovers may significantly degrade the quality of seamless connection in Mobile IP. Thus, minimizing handover latency and the number of lost packets during a handover is an important task in wireless mobile networks. In this paper, we propose a new mobility management scheme to handle the movements of Mobile Nodes (MNs) among different cell in the same wireless network to reduce data loss and maintain uniform connectivity. We also provide the performance results both for the proposed and basic horizontal handovers in wireless mobile networks. The simulation results show that the proposed model profoundly decreases latency at the expense of slightly increased data traffic.
