Ph.D Thesis (Expected December 2008):
Systems Optimization
in Mobility Management
Advisor: Professor Henning Schulzrinne,
This thesis proposes a systematic
model to mobility management and proposes several optimization techniques that supports subnet, domain and inter-technology roaming for
real-time interactive and streaming application in the wireless Internet. We
analyze the common abstract properties resulting out of a mobility event,
demonstrate and analyze proactive and predictive fast-handoff mechanisms that
help reduce the binding delay at several layers and reduce the packet loss by
means of dynamic buffering techniques.
