A Novel Predictive Scheduling Handover on Mobile IPv6

In this paper, we proposed a scheduling handover mechanism called SMIPv6 which is based on mobile IPv6. In the SMIPv6, a new care-of-address is obtained by IP preconfiguration and afterwards, we calculated a better timing to process the handover. Compared with FMIPv6 (fast handover for MIPv6), SMIPv6 has done away with the tunnel mechanism and reduced the bandwidth waste. Hence, SMIPv6 can reduce the CPU loading of the access routers. Finally, the simulation results showed that SMIPv6 has better handover efficiency and does not cause packet sequence disorders when compared with FMIPv6.
