Abstract
In this paper, we tackle the seamless handover problem in
integrated optical wireless networks. Our model applies for the
convergence network of EPON and WiMAX and a mobilityaware
signaling protocol is proposed. The proposed handover
scheme, Integrated Mobility Management Scheme (IMMS), is
assisted by enhancing the traditional MPCP signaling protocol,
which cooperatively collects mobility information from the
front-end wireless network and makes centralized bandwidth
allocation decisions in the backhaul optical network. The
integrated network architecture and the joint handover scheme
are simulated using OPNET modeler. Results show validation of
the protocol, i.e., integrated handover scheme gains better
network performances.
