Abstract

IP is not suitable for mobile nodes by network-based routing because mobile nodes are dynamically change their network attachment point. Mobile-IP is an IETF standard providing continuous access to the Internet for mobile nodes, but it has the triangle routing problem. Also it has a performance degradation problem by massive packet loss during layer 3 handoff of mobile nodes. Especially, two IETF multicast support schemes for Mobile-IP do not guarantee the quality of realtime multimedia services because they have several problems such as long routing path, packet duplication(hi-directional tunneling) and massive packet loss(remote subscription). In this paper, we propose a lossless remote subscription scheme that guarantees the quality of realtime multimedia services over Mobile-IP. From the result of simulation, we verified that the proposed scheme in this paper can reduce the delay time of remote subscription by the effect of the low latency handoff scheme that is extended to apply to the multicast group management and it requires only 0.58% buffer spaces of the previously proposed lossless remote subscription scheme.

IP는 네트워크 주소를 기반으로 한 라우팅으로 인해 접속 네트워크가 동적으로 변경되는 이동 노드에는 그대로 사용할 수 없다. 이동노드에게 지속적인 인터넷 접속서비스를 제공하기 위해서 IETF는 모바일 IP를 정의하였다. 하지만 모바일 W는 삼각 라우팅 문제와 계층3 핸드오프에 의한 패킷손실로 인해 전송성능이 저하되는 문제를 안고 있다. 특히, 실시간 멀티미디어 서비스를 모바일 IP에서 제공하기 위한 IETF의 두 가지 멀티캐스트 지원방안은 긴 전송경로와 패킷 중복(양방향 터널링 방안), 핸드오프 시 대량의 패킷손실(원격지 가입 방안)로 인해 실시간 멀티미디어 서비스의 품질을 보장하기가 어렵다. 본 논문은 모바일 IP에서의 실시간 멀티미디어 서비스 품질 보장을 위해 IETF의 원격지 가입 방안을 개선한 무손실 원격지 방안을 제안한다. 시뮬레이션 결과 본 논문에서 제안된 무손실 원격지 가입 방안은 IETF의 저 지연 핸드오프(low latency handoff)를 멀티캐스트 그룹관리에 적용함으로써 그룹 재가입에 따른지연을 줄였으며, 무손실을 위해 서비스망 전체에서 요구되는 저장공간의 평균 크기가 기존에 제안되었던 무손실 방안의 약 0.58% 만을 사용해도 되는 수준으로 줄었다.
