The study on schemes for seamless multicast handover in the Proxy Mobile IPv6 based on wireless networks

This paper proposed the three scheme for seamless multicast handover in the PMIPv6 based networks. To reduce the packet losses and handover latency during handover, we proposed the three schemes using the packet forwarding: two are intra-domain schemes and one is inter-domain scheme. From the analytical results and comparisons, it is shown that the intra-domain scheme using the packet forwarding from PMAG to NMAG gives better performance than the existing schemes and also the other proposed schemes.
