GPS Aided Predictive Handover Management for Multihomed NEMO Configurations

摘要

In this document we propose a new handover management solution which can be used to provide ubiquitous connections and seamless Internet access. The new solution is based on GPS position information and previous records of network parameters and exploits the benefits of multihomed mobility configurations. Based on actual GPS coordinates and previously recorded data, the system is able to predict handovers and to prepare itself for the appearance of networks. With the proposed solution, handover latency could almost be totally eliminated in multihomed networking environments.
