Abstract
Multimedia becomes one of the most wanted content in the modem Internet world. Since the Mobile Internet Protocol version 6 (MIPv6) was proposed until today many researchers have been trying to develop methods and protocols, in order to improve the performance of mobile multimedia services. Handover is a transition process when a Mobile Node (MN) moves from home network towards foreign network. This transition causes a latency that affected the data delivery. In mobile multimedia service, extensive latency in data delivery may introduce inconveniences on the user's side. This thesis proposed a seamless and secure handover model by introducing a simultaneous binding update process at Correspondent Node (CN) and Home Agent HA. Performing the binding update processes simultaneously reduces the latency compared to the original FMIPv6, which performs the binding update processes sequentially. The simultaneous binding update needs a globally unique care ofaddress. This research also introduced the use of International Mobile Subscriber Identification (IMSI) as interface identifier for constructing the care of-address. Since the IMSI is globally unique, then the care of-address constructed by the proposed method should be globally unique as such, the Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) process is not needed in the (HA) binding update. The performance of the proposed model was verified by performing simulation on OMNET++. The experiment results showed that the proposed model in average reduced the latency by 46%, 47% and 47% for the low, medium, and high speed scenarios, respectively. In addition, the security verification by the CMurphi tool confirmed the secureness of the proposed model.
