Dynamic Policy Scheme for Resource Allocation in Mobile IP Handoff
For the problem of multimedia applications not obtain assuring service immediately after mobile IP handoff we propose dynamic policy and design the dynamic policy scheme of resource management in mobile IP. Based on the prediction information of the mobile node, the mechanism automatically produces dynamic policies to do admission control and to prepare resources before handoff occurs. And then it uses core policies existed as reference and applies product space conditional event algebra to trigger enforcement of dynamic policy. When the resources in access domain fell short of mobile nodes' requisition, it adopts "step back" arithmetic to update dynamic policies to further adjust resource possession according to the priority to assure the services credibility. By analysis, it is shown that this scheme can guarantee QoS of applications with higher priority and significantly improve the success rate of handoff. Also this management model is much more flexible than traditional methods.
