Abstract：Future network is characterized by the integration of heterogeneous wireless access technologies. The IETF Mobile IP (MIP) integrates these different networks into a single IP-based platform. This paper focuses on the analysis of movement detection mechanisms for MIP: LCS, ECS. A cross-layer fast detection method in heterogeneous overlay networks is proposed. Analysis and simulation show that with the information of link layer, the proposed scheme can achieve better performance in terms of handoff latency and packet loss.
