Handoff Mechanism in Real Time Applications Using Two Different Algorithms

Vicky Kumar

This paper proposes an extension of Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) to support soft handover with bicasting and buffering, named mobile SIP (mSIP). In the mSIP scheme, the soft handover is achieved by bicasting and buffering to the mobile node in the handover region. For this purpose, a new handover’ header is defined in the SIP re-INVITE message. The mSIP handover can reduce handover latency and loss, compared to the SIP handover.
