Abstract

Disclosed is a system for providing handover of a mobile node in a wireless network supporting Mobile IP. The mobile node sends, when handover is needed, a request for neighbor access router information to a first access router currently communicating with the mobile node, and selects, if the neighbor access router information is received, a second access router serving as a target access router using the received neighbor access router information. The first access router exchanges access router information with a neighbor access router, provides neighbor access router information to the mobile node upon receiving the neighbor access router information request from the mobile node, and redirects data to be delivered to the mobile node to the second access router to which the mobile node will be handed over. The second access router forwards data to be delivered to the mobile node to the corresponding mobile node.

Description

The system and method that provides mobile ip terminal to switch in the wireless network
Technical field
The present invention relates generally to the ambulant system and method for the terminal that is used for support adopting mobile IP (Internet Protocol) wireless system, relates in particular to the system and method for the switching that is used to provide mobile IP terminal in wireless network.
Background technology
Wireless system is categorized as mobile communication system, wireless local loop (WLL) system and WLAN (wireless local area network) (WLAN) system that wherein uses mobile phone or personal cellular system (PCS) phone usually.These wireless systems have been developed as independently system.Yet, at present, the integrated Internet Protocol of wireless system (IP).In the method for the use IP integrated system that suggestion comes, system uses mobile IP communication.Terminal is used in the system of mobile IP communication therein, and terminal will be called couple in router (AR) by the target that wireless channel communicates.Wireless LAN system is the most typical example that wherein uses the system of couple in router.
To the Wireless LAN system that use mobile IP be described.Basically, because Wireless LAN system uses wireless channel to communicate by letter with couple in router, as long as system passes through a couple in router communication, system just can guarantee the mobility of support terminal.The ambulant complete mobility of guaranteeing to guarantee fully terminal of this part.That is, terminal moves to new couple in router when may communicate by letter in the coverage of current couple in router.In this case, identical with mobile communication system, Wireless LAN system must provide the switching of terminal so that guarantee mobility.That is, Wireless LAN system should be also position by the office terminal be provided at seamless communication between transfer period.In order to provide even seamless communication between transfer period, use mobile IP technology.According to employed version, mobile IP technology is categorized as mobile IPv 4 and mobile IP v 6.In the following description, no matter employed version uses the terminal of mobile IP all will be called " mobile node (MN) ".
Mobile IPv 4 definition local agent (HA) and external agent (FA) are so that provide the mobility of mobile node.In addition, mobile IPv 4 is carried out the location management of mobile node by HA and FA.HA is arranged in the local network of mobile node, and FA is arranged in the objective network that mobile node will switch.Each mobile node is carried out when switching, its its current location of notice HA.HA stores the positional information of mobile node then, and when data will be sent to mobile node, HA encapsulated corresponding data, and encapsulation of data is sent to FA by the tunnel.FA is sent to the mobile node that is arranged in its network from HA reception encapsulation of data and with the data that received then.
As mentioned above, the data that are sent to mobile node make and do not optimize data transfer path always by HA.In order to address this problem, path optimization (RO) technology has been proposed.Simultaneously, having proposed the mobile IP v 6 technology utilizes the advantage of IPv6 technology and supports mobile node in the IPv6 network.In the IPv6 technology, owing to use path optimization's technology that data are sent to mobile node basically, mobile node becomes the terminal point and the data of deblocking through encapsulating in tunnel.
Provide changing method among layer 3 (L3) of mobile IP in 7 layers of OSI.Yet the changing method in layer 2 (L2) is not discussed, in L3, carried out before the communication that causes by switching the communication in should complete layer 2.In addition, between the transfer period of mobile node, long delay takes place, so mobile node is difficult to carry out seamless communication.In order to address this problem, fast moving IP and hierarchical mobile IP have been proposed.These technology are better than simple mobile IP on reducing aspect the time-delay that occurs between transfer period.Yet, identical with mobile IP, the also management switching in L3 of these technology.That is, do not consider that in these technology L2 switches.In other words, do not have to propose to be used to optimize L2 switches and based on the L2 handover optimization L2 and L3 between transfer period L2 switch and the appropriate method of the correlation of L3 between switching.
To be described in the time-delay that takes place in the L2 hand-off process now.Characteristic by following wireless network causes the time-delay that takes place in the L3 hand-off process.
Though they use identical medium, adjacent wireless network uses different channels and disturbs so that prevent.Therefore, in order to carry out switching, mobile node should obtain medium information and it is with the channel information that uses in the target radio network that switches.In order to obtain these information, the L2 of mobile node should check the information about All Media and channel available in the wireless network.Acquisition is called " scan channel " about the information processing of All Media available in the wireless network and channel.After carrying out the scan channel processing, best medium and channel that the mobile node selection is used to switch.Behind definite best medium and channel, mobile node is selected the couple in router (AR) corresponding to determined medium and channel, carries out the L2 hand-off process then.
Fig. 1 is the figure of diagram couple in router via the routing to communicate of IP network and mobile node.In Fig. 1, internet network 131 is IPv4 or IPv6 network.Internet network 131 is connected to first and second router ones 21 and 122.First and second router ones 21 and 122 are connected to a plurality of couple in routers 111,112,113 and 114.In Fig. 1, for example, the first router 121 is connected to first and second couple in routers 111 and 112, and the second router 122 is connected to third and fourth couple in router 113 and 114.
Suppose that first couple in router 111 has IEEE 802.11a network channel, second couple in router 112 has IEEE 802.11b network channel, the 3rd couple in router 113 has IEEE 802.11a/b network channel, and the 4th couple in router 114 has IEEE 802.11g network channel.Mobile node 101 at first is connected to first couple in router 111, and by wireless channel communication.When mobile node was positioned at the coverage of first couple in router 111, it was represented by Reference numeral 101a.When mobile node was positioned at the coverage of second couple in router 112, it was represented by Reference numeral 101b.When mobile node was positioned at the coverage of the 3rd couple in router 113, it was represented by Reference numeral 101c.
By this way, mobile node changes the couple in router that it is communicated by letter with it when it moves.When mobile node remains in the coverage of specific couple in router, do not exist and switch the problem that causes.Yet when mobile node moved to new couple in router, mobile node should be carried out switching, the problem that causes occurred switching.
For example, in some cases, mobile node can with change the network coverage when first couple in router 111 in the network's coverage area (the current region of mobile node) of first couple in router 111 is communicated by letter.That is, as shown in arrow 10, mobile node 101a can move to the network's coverage area of second couple in router 112.When causing couple in router when first couple in router 111 is changed into second couple in router 112 because the network's coverage area of mobile node changes, first and second couple in routers 111 can use different communication standards with 112.For example, second couple in router 112 uses IEEE 802.11b standard if first couple in router 111 uses IEEE 802.11a standard, so because they use different access technologies can produce following point.
At first, because mobile node 101a does not know the communication standard and the channel that use in the adjacent networks, mobile node 101a should detect communication standard and the channel that uses in the adjacent networks.For the channel of the communication standard that detects use, all channels that define in the IEEE 802.11a standard that mobile node scanning is used in the network of its current connection.Yet in the adjacent networks that uses IEEE 802.11b standard, mobile node can not acquired information.Then mobile node use except that IEEE 802.11a standard, its spendable access standard comes scanning channel once more.If mobile node can use all IEEE 802.11a standards, IEEE 802.11b standard and IEEE 802.11g standard, then its select IEEE 802.11b standard and IEEE 802.11g standard in the lump by the selected communication standard channel of scanning neighbor network once more.If select IEEE 802.11b standard, mobile node can detect the channel that uses in adjacent networks.Yet if select IEEE 802.11g standard, mobile node should use all signals of IEEE 802.11g standard scan, uses all channels of IEEE 802.11b standard scan adjacent networks then.
Summary of the invention
When mobile node has negative effect according to the time-delay that all possible standard produces during all channels of scanning neighbor network one by one to communication, not only mobile IP but also switch fast and hierarchical mobile IP also has latency issue.In addition, when mobile node used portable power supplies such as battery, long channel reduced the running time of battery sweep time.In addition, the time-delay of carrying out in switching may cause that service quality (QoS) reduces.
Therefore the purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of mobile node that is used for reducing wireless network and carry out the system and method for the time-delay of switching.

In this configuration, first couple in router 211 is sent to second couple in router 212 with channel information via its first router that is connected 221 with its standard.In addition, second couple in router 212 is sent to first couple in router 211 with channel information via its first router that is connected 221 with its standard.By Reference numeral 202 these transfer paths of expression.Second couple in router 212 is sent to internet network 231 with data via the first router 221 that is connected with second couple in router 212 with the 3rd couple in router 213.Then, second couple in router 212 is sent to the 3rd couple in router 213 with its standard and channel information by the second router 222 that is connected to the 3rd couple in router 213.By Reference numeral 203 these transfer paths of expression.This standard and channel information can comprise standard information, channel information, QoS information and security information.Term used herein " information ", " standard information and channel information " and " standard and channel information " all be used to represent above-mentioned information, and standard and channel information can also comprise the out of Memory that needs in the network and be used to switch required out of Memory.Be known in the art owing to switch required information in the network, do not providing its detailed description here.
On the contrary, the 3rd couple in router 213 and second couple in router 212 are sent to internet network 231 via the second router 212 that is connected to the 3rd couple in router 213 with data.Then, the 3rd couple in router 213 is sent to second couple in router 212 with its standard and channel information by the first router 221 that is connected to second couple in router 212.By Reference numeral 204 these transfer paths of expression.In addition, provide in an identical manner by Reference numeral 205 and 206 the expression paths transmit data.
In order to carry out aforesaid operations, each couple in router should be able to be sent to its information adjacent with it geographically adjacent access router.In addition, each couple in router need be about the information of its adjacent access router.Wherein specific couple in router is determined to be divided into following two methods about the new method of the information of its adjacent access router.
In first method, the keeper of supervising the network clearly defines the couple in router adjacent with each couple in router.This is the simplest method, and if network configuration not change be effective all just.Yet in the method, the keeper wants the adjacent access router of each couple in router of individual's definition.In addition, if add or the change couple in router, the keeper should redefine adjacent access router.
In second method, each couple in router can be by the automatic information that obtains about its couple in router of mobile node.
In the method, because mobile node will be provided to the couple in router in the current network about the information of previous couple in router when carry out switching, couple in router uses this information can obtain information about its adjacent access router.Use this method, each couple in router can obtain the information about couple in router (even new couple in router that adds) automatically.
What Fig. 3 was diagram according to the embodiment of the invention carries out when switching the flow chart of the operation of carrying out when mobile node in each couple in router.With reference to Fig. 3, will describe wherein between couple in router after the exchange message, mobile node switches to the disposed of in its entirety of new couple in router from specific couple in router.When describing processing, suppose that mobile node 201a moves to second couple in router 212 from first couple in router 211.
Because first couple in router 211 is adjacent mutually with second couple in router 212, supposes to have exchanged standard and channel information between access router.Describe information exchange between the couple in router in detail with reference to Fig. 4.Suppose to have carried out information exchange between the couple in router in the step 300 of Fig. 3.When beginning carry out to handle, after specific mobile node receives handoff request, couple in router can discern that they are adjacent mutually.In most of the cases, after this incident usually occurs in and has carried out information exchange.Therefore, suppose the processing of execution in step 300.First couple in router 211 and second couple in router 212 have been known about the ieee standard of there use and the information of channel.
When specific mobile node 201 when arrow 10 moves to second couple in router 212, mobile node 201a sends a handover request to first couple in router 211.At this moment, mobile node 201a sends request to the information of the target couple in router that will switch to about it to first couple in router 211.If first couple in router 211 receives such handoff request, that is, if determine to receive handoff request from specific mobile node in step 310, then first couple in router 211 advances to step 320.In step 320, first couple in router 211 is transmitted in standard and the channel information that uses in second couple in router 212 (the target couple in router of mobile node 201a request) to mobile node 201a.Then, in step 330, first couple in router 211 is carried out the release of the channel that is established to mobile node 201a and is handled, and interrupt communication.Even in mobile node 201a, carry out this and handle, and mobile node 201a is discharged into the channel of first couple in router 211, and be established to the channel of second couple in router 212, and carry out thus and switch.By this way, mobile node 201a becomes the mobile node 201b that is arranged in second couple in router 212.
Fig. 4 be diagram according to the embodiment of the invention in wireless network, upgrade adjacent networks information by the couple in router cycle, promptly about the flow chart of the information processing of adjacent access router.Term used herein " network information " refers to the information about couple in router.With reference to Fig. 4, in wireless network, upgrade the adjacent networks information processing according to the embodiment of the invention by couple in router with describing in detail.Suppose processing by first couple in router, 211 execution graphs 4 of Fig. 2.
In step 400, first couple in router 211 keeps idle condition.The idle condition of using in Fig. 4 refers to the wherein state of first couple in router, 211 undos, and perhaps first couple in router 211 is not carried out the state about operation of the present invention.
In idle condition, first couple in router 211 determines whether to arrive the update cycle in step 410.Suppose here that first couple in router 211 has the predetermined update cycle so as with its information of adjacent access router exchange.Update cycle can be set to, for example, and 30 seconds.If arrive the update cycle, first couple in router 211 advances to step 440.Yet if do not arrive the update cycle, first couple in router 211 advances to step 420.
In step 420, first couple in router 211 determines whether that its network configuration (or environment) changes.The change of network configuration or environment is corresponding to the standard in using or the change of channel.Change if determine network configuration, first couple in router 211 advances to step 430, otherwise first couple in router 211 turns back to step 400.In step 430, first network configuration information that couple in router 211 upgrades and storage is changed advances to step 440 then.In step 440, first couple in router 211 is sent to adjacent access router with network configuration information.As mentioned above, first couple in router 211 is sent to second couple in router 212 with the network information, or its adjacent access router.First couple in router 211 can be determined adjacent access router with the method for describing in conjunction with Fig. 3.
The method of exchange message can be divided into the method for periodical exchange information and the method that each network configuration change just is provided to information the couple in router in the adjacent networks between couple in router.Because these methods all have pluses and minuses, can select them according to network management strategy.
What Fig. 5 was diagram according to the embodiment of the invention receives the flow chart of the processing of the network information by couple in router from adjacent access router.With reference to Fig. 5, receive the processing of the network information according to the embodiment of the invention from adjacent access router by couple in router with describing in detail.Suppose processing by first couple in router, 211 execution graphs 5 of Fig. 2.
In step 500, first couple in router 211 keeps idle condition.The idle condition of using among Fig. 5 refers to the wherein state of first couple in router, 211 undos, and perhaps first couple in router 211 is not carried out the state about operation of the present invention.
In idle condition, first couple in router 211 determines whether to receive information from adjacent access router in step 510.If determine to receive the network information that comprises standard and channel information from adjacent access router in step 510, first couple in router 211 advances to step 520, the network information that it is relatively received in step 520 and the existing network information that is stored in adjacent access router wherein, corresponding.Then, in step 530, first couple in router 211 determines whether the network information that receives from adjacent access router is different with existing network information, that is, whether the network information changes.If the network information that is received changes, then first couple in router 211 advances to step 540, otherwise first couple in router 211 turns back to step 500.In step 540, first couple in router 211 upgrades and stores from the network information of the corresponding couple in router of adjacent access router reception.By this way, if the network information that receives from adjacent access router changes, then first couple in router 211 can upgrade and keep adjacent networks information continuously.
Fig. 6 is hand-off process is carried out in diagram according to the mobile node in the network of the embodiment of the invention a flow chart.With reference to Fig. 6, carry out hand-off process with describing in detail according to the mobile node in the network of the embodiment of the invention.In this was handled, as shown in Figure 2, the mobile node 201a that supposes to be arranged in the overlay area of first couple in router moved to the overlay area of second couple in router 212.
In step 600, mobile node 201a carries out enable mode or idle pulley.Here " enable mode " of Shi Yonging refers to the state that mobile node 201a wherein communicates by letter with first couple in router 211 or current couple in router, and " idle pulley " used herein refers to the state that mobile node 201a does not wherein communicate by letter with any couple in router.In this state, mobile node 201a need to determine whether to switch in step 602.If need to determine to switch in step 602, mobile node 201a advances to step 604.Level by the signal that relatively receives from current couple in router need to determine whether to switch with the level of the signal that receives from new couple in router.
In step 604, mobile node 201a sends the adjacent networks information request to first couple in router 211 of communication with it.In step 606, mobile node 201a receives adjacent networks information in response to the adjacent networks information request from first couple in router 211.The adjacent networks information that is received can be about the information of a plurality of couple in routers rather than about the information of single couple in router.This can understand from the neighbor cell of cellular system.After receiving adjacent networks information from first couple in router 211, mobile node 201a advances to step 608, and it determines the priority of medium and channel in step 608.In this case, mobile node 201a at first determines specific medium, sets up the channel that is used for medium then.Suppose from the information of first couple in router, 211 receptions, and 3 adjacent access routers comprise two adjacent access router and adjacent access routers with IEEE 802.11g network environment with IEEE 802.11a network environment about 3 adjacent access routers.Mobile node 201a can obtain the channel about the adjacent access router use, that is, acquisition has the channel information of two adjacent access routers channel information that uses and an adjacent access router use with IEEE 802.11g network environment of IEEE 802.11a network environment.Therefore, use and determine specific criteria, scan the method for respective channels then, even do not scan the couple in router that all channels also can determine to carry out switching.
Here will not provide the detailed description of the method for determining priority.After determining priority, mobile node 201a advances to step 610, and it is according to the priority scanning channel in step 610.During each mobile node 201a scanning particular channel, mobile node 201a determines whether that in step 612 it has searched for it with the objective network that switches to.If determine to have searched for objective network in step 612, mobile node 201a advances to step 614.Yet if when step 612 determines not have the ferret out network, mobile node 201a turns back to step 610, and it changes channel and standard according to next priority in step 610, and carries out new scanning according to channel that changes and standard.
After finishing the search of mobile node 201a with the specific objective network that switches to, mobile node 201a carries out L2 and switches.Then, mobile node 201a is in its more high-rise execution hand-off process.After finishing hand-off process, that is, as shown in Figure 2, move to the coverage of second couple in router 212 at mobile node 201a after, mobile node 201a turns back to step 600, its carries out enable mode or idle pulley in step 600.
To with reference to Fig. 2 the hand-off process that mobile node is carried out be described once more here.When mobile node 201a moves to second couple in router 212 from first couple in router 211, mobile node 201a uses the signal level that receives from current network to determine to carry out switching.Then, first couple in router 211 of mobile node 201a in current network sends the request about the information of adjacent wireless network.Use this information, mobile node 201a can obtain following information.At first, mobile node 201a can determine following information.At first mobile node 201a can determine the management domain at its place, and the jumping between definite adjacent access router (hop) distance.In addition, mobile node 201a can obtain to be used for to indicate the information of the available function of couple in router.Use this information, mobile node 201a can obtain the information about adjacent wireless network, and the best couple in router of selecting to communicate by letter with mobile node from adjacent access router is carried out switching.
Yet current mobile IP technology is not provided for allowing mobile node to select the technology of best couple in router.Therefore, the present invention proposes a kind of effectively method of switching of information of access route agreement (ARIP) grouping execution that is used to use.Even switching also can be used the ARIP grouping that proposes in the present invention between heterogeneous networks.Use the ARIP grouping to carry out the method for switching with describing.
As mentioned above, switch to wireless network in order to carry out, current mobile node should scan all channels of each wireless network.By this way, mobile node can be selected the best couple in router of communicating by letter with mobile node, and after selecting best couple in router, mobile node begins L2 and switches.When use was divided into groups according to ARIP of the present invention, mobile node can obtain the information about adjacent wireless network.Mobile node is allowed to only scan the channel that uses in adjacent networks, reduce thus and switch the required time.
