Abstract

Vertical handover refers to the process that the interface connecting to wireless network changes across heterogeneous networks. The delay caused by vertical handover affects the quality of the ongoing applications, especially the real-time applications like VoIP. Authentication and security associa- tion is one of the major components of delay during vertical handover. If the Mobile Node(MN) uses stateless address configuration scheme during handover, it is another time consuming phase. In this paper, we propose a dual thresh- old based handover scheme, which uses the Media Indepen- dent Handover (MIH) services depned in the IEEE 802.21 to provide fast vertical handover with authentication support.
