Abstract
This paper presents an 802.11-dependent IP mobility solution which ac-
celerates the network reconfiguration phase after subnet handoffs and
significantly reduces the IP handoff latency. The proposed fast IP hand-
off method offers the next generation WLAN applications such as Voice
over WLANs (VoWLAN) complete freedom of movement without expe-
riencing any connectivity problems. The performance results verify that
this method outperforms other existing proposed IP mobility solutions
inWLANs, in a way which introduces the lesser imperative amendments
to the existing 802.11 wireless LAN framework.
