Abstract
This paper describes a current mechanism for mobile IPv6 fast handover in the wireless LAN and examines its drawbacks, and suggests a new mechanism of predictive fast handover which provides a reduced latency for obtaining address configuration parameter from a router using of light-weight extended WLAN function when performing address configuration through access point. Analytic performance evaluation and comparison have shown that the proposed mechanism is faster in terms of delay than existing mechanism including reduced packet loss when in motion.
