Abstract
This paper presents a synchronization scheme for enabling a smooth presentation of multimedia streams during a handoff in mobile environments. As changes are made to base stations in wireless environments, mobile host-initiated handoffs result in multimedia data loss in a base station as well as low quality of service (QoS) for multimedia streams. As a result of evaluations, the proposed schemes, compared to the previons schemes, delivered a continuous playout of multimedia streams while achieving low packet loss.
