Abstract:
Mobile devices become more popular nowadays and as they are portable, roaming between heterogeneous networks is essential. With roaming technology, mobile device can perform handover from one network to another network seamlessly. Hence, users may enjoy service on mobile continuously. There are a few approaches discussed among researchers to perform handover for mobile device across heterogeneous network. Most of those existing experiments test bed were built according to the IEEE 802.21 Media Independent Handover standard that is to facilitate a seamless mobility in a heterogeneous network. Information Services (IS) is one of the functionalities in IEEE 802.21 standard for the handover purpose. In this paper, we proposed an experimental test bed setup for seamless video streaming with Information Server in a wireless overlay of 802.11 WLAN. Information Server framework was developed and applied to video streaming application to see the impact of IS over service continuity handover. Results show seamless video streaming service while handoff between two networks and achieved the objective of the study
