Performance evaluation of GNSS aided predictive multihomed NEMO configurations

Abstract

In this document we show the evaluation of an already introduced handover management solution which can be used to provide ubiquitous connections and seamless Internet access. The new solution makes use of GNSS location information and previous records of network parameters. The method exploits the benefits of multihomed mobility configurations. Based on actual GNSS coordinates and previously recorded data, the system is able to predict handovers and to prepare itself for the appearance of networks. By implementing the proposed solution in a real-life multihomed test environment, handover latency is almost totally eliminated.
