Improving the Performance of Packet Transfer in Network Mobility

Uninterrupted connectivity to Internet services during mobility is an increased demand now-a-days. When, a user is traveling through a vehicle like car or train, it is important to have a continuous Internet connection without connection break-ups and data losses. This vehicular Internet connectivity is enabled by establishing connectivity to nearby networks. N-PMIPv6 (Network-Proxy Mobile Internet Protocol Version 6) Novell Architecture enables seamless and efficient integration of mobile networks. Users moving through vehicles access Internet through the mobile networks. In case the user access multimedia data such as audio, video, graphics and animation, this type of data requires high bandwidth in mobile networks. Accessing such high proportion of data through wireless networks may degrade the quality of data through data loss. The quality of audio or resolution of the downloaded video may get affected due to significant data loss in mobile wireless networks. This study proposes a solution to avoid the data loss issue by simultaneous binding. The proposal is implemented using NS2 simulation tool and the results are analyzed.
