Outline of Final Research Achievements

Smooth handover across networks without communication interruption is important considering communication status of a mobile node and various requirements of users in mobile communications. In this study, we have developed a policy based handover technique not only in unicast communications but also in multicast communications considering requirements of users and applications. We have developed a streaming platform including the proposed multicast handover mechanism and show its efficiency by some evaluations.
