| Abstract | The constant evolution on the telecommunications sector particularly with the increasing development of wireless technologies has led to the diversification of access networks solutions. Nowadays technologies like Wi-Fi, WiMAX, UMTS and LTE are a set of heterogeneous networks that provide mobile broadband access to multiple devices, from smartphones to laptops or tablets. This diversification alongside with the appearance of multi-technology terminals and user ubiquitous access requirements, brought enormous challenges to mobility management in heterogeneous network environments. To address this issue the IEEE group has been working on a standard in order to optimize mobility procedures through different access technologies, the IEEE802.21 Media Independent Handover (MIH) Services. The goal of this standard is to support and improve handovers regardless the access technology used by defining an abstraction layer called Media Independent Handover Function (MIHF) between Layer 3 and Layer 2 and below (MAC and PHY). This paper focuses on the performance of this framework by presenting an Enhanced Mobility Manager (EMM) entity capable of performing terminal and handover management using this framework. The EMM was deployed and tested in a real heterogeneous network environment providing Wi-Fi, WiMAX and HSPA networks access with IPv6 and MIPv6 support. To evaluate a real usage scenario a Android mobile device was used. The results show that IEEE 802.21 framework meets the proposed objectives by enabling both seamless handover between different Radio Access Technologies and QoS provisioning. This paper is organized as follows: Section II presents related work regarding the IEEE802.21 and mobility management developments, Section III briefly introduces the IEEE802.21 framework and its main goals. Section IV describes the proposed mobility management entity and how it can be integrated with the IEEE802.21 framework in order to control and execute handover procedures. Section V describes how the EMM was developed, how it works and presents the implemented testbed details. In Section VI the methodology used to perform the performance evaluation is presented and results are presented and discussed. Finally, Section VII presents the conclusions and future work possibilities. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
