Title
Realization Of Ieee 802.21 Services And Preauthentication Framework
Abstract
Providing users of multi-interface devices the ability to roam between different access networks is becoming a key requirement for service providers. The availability of multiple mobile broadband access technologies together with increasing use of real time multimedia applications is creating strong demand for handover solutions that can seamlessly and securely transfer user sessions across different access technologies. In this paper, we discuss how the IEEE 802.21 standard and its services address the challenges of seamless mobility for multi-interface devices. We focus on a proof-of-concept implementation that integrates IEEE 802.21 services and a pre-authentication framework, realizing different possible usage scenarios to optimize handover performance. We describe the implementation of two handover scenarios using the 802.21 Services: the first one is initiated by the mobile node and the second one is initiated by the operator network. We compare the two scenarios and discuss their respective benefits. Finally, we describe the implementation challenges and lessons learned through this exercise.
