| Description | This paper presents a technique to provide seamless communications in mobile wireless networks. The goal of seamless communication is to provide disruption free service to a mobile user. A disruption in service could occur due to active handoffs (handoffs during an active connection). Existing protocols either provide total guarantee for disruption free service incurring heavy network bandwidth usage (multicast based approach), or do not provide any guarantee for disruption free service (forwarding approach). There are many user applications that do not require a "total" guarantee for disruption free service but would also not tolerate very frequent disruptions. This paper proposes a novel staggered multicast approach which provides a probabilistic guarantee for disruption free service. The main advantage of the staggered multicast approach is that it exploits the performance guarantees provided by the multicast approach and also provides the much required savings in the static network bandwidth.
