EVALUATION OF CDMA2000 SUPPORT FOR IP MICRO-MOBILITY-HANDOVER AND PAGING PROTOCOLS

摘要

Recent research in Mobile-IP has proposed that IP should take support from the underlying wireless network architecture to achieve good performance for handover and paging protocols. Recent work at IETF defines requirements for layer-2 (data link layer of OSI model) to support optimized layer-3 (network layer of OSI model) handover and paging protocols. Layer-2 can send notification to layer-3 that certain event has happened or is about to happen. The notification is sent using a trigger. The triggers that are needed by IP handover and paging protocols are presented in recent IETF drafts. This paper maps the triggers to their corresponding events in CDMA2000.
