Comparison of Handover schemes for Next Generation Networks

For seamless service, mobility should be supported in the NGN. For this, there have been many contributions, such as MIPv6, IP2, Q.MMF, IMS. In mobility area, handover latency time is the first parameter to consider. However, above all are not compared up to now. Therefore this paper presents the performance comparison of handover latency times. For this, we use NS-2 simulator. In simulation results, we shown that IP2 has minimum value as compared with other mechanisms about the handover latency time
