Vertical handoff is the handoff between different network
Horizontal handoff is the handoff within the same network

1. Motivation
WWAN: low rate, high cost and wide coverage
WLAN: high rate, low cost and small coverage usually deployed at hotspots
Combines the 3G WWAN and the IEEE 802.11 WLAN together will benefit to operator and customer

1. Objective To make the integration effective, vertical handoff
between the two networks is necessary Major problems in Vertical Handoff in integrate
networkDelayLoss packetBilling
In this presentation, we focus on real time application. It needs low delay during the vertical handoff

1. Related works
In [1] tight coupling, loose coupling and Mobile IP were introduced
[2] and [3] introduce FFT and MAC layer sensing for handoff decision, but the solution need improve because handoff decision does not consider different situation
[4] introduce the multi tunnel idea, but did not get a easy implement solution

Main idea of Modularized Two Step Handoff Scheme 3 Handoff process include two step
Pre handoff step
handoff step When the HA receives the pre handoff message, it
begins to multi-tunnel the packet. It copies the IP packet destined to MN and sends them to the FA in WLAN and WWAN respectively.
When the mobile node meet the handoff condition, it execute handoff.

Different with horizontal handoff Handoff from WWAN to WLAN Handoff from WLAN to WWAN
20
Different with horizontal handoff
No comparable signal strength When moves from WWAN to WLAN, can
not be triggered by signal decay
21
4.1.1 Handoff decision from WWAN to WLAN
Physical-layer sensing MAC-Layer Sensing Handoff decision scheme
22
Physical-layer sensing
WLAN air interface will be periodically turned on to scan the signal of WLAN
Once the user moves into WLAN, a valid WLAN service set identifier (SSID) will be detected
If received signal strength index (RSSI) be larger than a preset threshold R1 then send pre-handoff message to Action module
23
MAC-Layer Sensing Goal: detect the WLAN network condition, such as
available bandwidth and MAC-layer access delay NAV (Network Allocation Vector) is the main scheme
used in WLAN to avoid collision by setting a busy duration on hearing frame transmissions from other mobile hosts
By listening to and collecting the NAV in MAC layer, we can obtain the available bandwidth and access delay in MAC
Observe the NAV for T times and calculate the average NAV in this observation window. If the average NAV is smaller than a threshold N1, roaming into WLAN is granted; otherwise, the user stays in WWAN
24
Relationship between NAV and Available bandwidth
25
Relationship between NAV and Mean access delay
26
Handoff decision scheme from WWAN to WLAN Detecting the RSSI signal, If RSSI>R1,
then begin collect NAV and send pre-handoff message to Action module.
If the average NAV <N1, then send handoff message to Action module
Else keep the connection with the WWAN
27
4.1.2 Handoff decision from WLAN to WWAN The key problem is how to detect the
unavailability and the decay of the WLAN signal
we present an approach that integrate FFT-Based Decay Detection, NAV Occupation and simple physical signal strength for accurately detecting the unavailability of WLAN
28
FFT-Based Decay Detection
Regard sin (-(2πn/N)) as a linear filter applied to the sequence x(N)
x (1) is the most smooth metric because sin(-2πn/N)) is the filter with the least high-frequency component
This will reduce the variation of x (1) even x (n) may vary severely
we can set a threshold F1 for x (1)/N. If x(1)/N is smaller than F1, the signal is considered to be decaying

MAC layer sensing
From NAV we can obtain the available bandwidth and access delay in MAC
Set the threshold of average NAV is N2 If the average NAV>N2, it mean that the
delay of WLAN is large, so the user send pre-handoff message to Action module
After short time T, send handoff message to Action module
30
Physical Signal Sensing
Some time the signal of WLAN change very quickly. If the level of the RSSI is small then R3, the user will lose the connection
FFT is not very sensitive in this situation we select R4=R3+⊿ where ⊿ is the small amount
as a threshold. When the signal is less R4 send pre-handoff message to Action module, When the signal is less then R3 then send handoff message
31
Handoff decision scheme from WLAN to WWAN a) If RSSI<R4, then send pre-handoff message to
Action module;If RSSI<R3, send handoff messageIn this situation, the user need handoff immediately because the RSSI is too weak.
b) If RSSI<R2, then begin FFT and send pre-handoff message to Action moduleIf the X (1)/N< F1 then send handoff message
c) If the NAV occupation > N2 then send pre-handoff message to Action module, after time T send handoff message
32
To avoid Ping-Pong effect
R1>R2>R4>R3; N1<N2

4.2 Action module
Will be introduced by shimin

5 Conclusion and future work For real time application a Modularized Two Step
Handoff Scheme is proposed for handoff between WWAN and WLAN
In this scheme we design two module and a set of protocols, compare other scheme, it is clear and easy to implement
In this scheme not only physical layer signal but also MAC layer signal be considered
Handoff delay is very little and packet loss can be reduced
Avoids ping-pong effect
