Mobile IP has been designed to support host mobility over the Internet. In this paper, we
show that in most cases the smooth handoff by the route optimization of the Mobile IP …

It is well-known that TCP often experiences severe performance degradation in mobile
networks since packet losses not related to network congestion occur frequently due to host …

Mobile IP is a solution to support host mobility in the Internet. But, packets can be lost during
the movement detection and registration periods of the Mobile IP. Regular TCP interprets …

Mobile IP is a standard for handling routing for hosts that have moved from their home
network. This paper studies the costs of the Mobile IP handoff that occurs when a mobile …

To prevent performance degradation of TCP due to packet losses in the smooth handoff by
the route optimization extension of Mobile IP standard, a few packet buffering methods have …

With the help of mobile IP/IPv6 and soft handoff, ongoing TCP sessions can remain active
and handoff packet loss can be avoided. However, TCP still faces several performance …

The smooth handoff supported by the route optimization extension to the mobile IP standard
protocol should support a packet buffering mechanism at the base station (BS), in order to …

Packet losses during the handoff operation by the route optimization extension of the Mobile
IP causes performance degradation at the transmission control protocol (TCP). To prevent …

Performance of TCP can be severely degraded in Mobile IP-based wireless networks where
packet losses not related to network congestion occur frequently during inter-subnetwork …

In this paper the mobile IP and its handoff issues are introduced. Three main factors that
affect mobile IP's handoff performance, mobility detection, re-registration, interaction with …
