Seamless Handover: The Hurricane Media Independent Handover (MIH) Complete Reference Implementation

摘要

The aim of the HURRICANE framework is to support seamless handovers between 3GPP, DVB, IEEE 802.11 and 802.16 networks. In this framework, the IEEE 802.21, Media-Independent Handover (MIH) [1] provides the basis for the handover-enabling functionality. In this paper, it will be described the effort taken in order to have a fully-blown IEEE 802.21 implementation with the addition of a Media-Independent Information Service server facility.
