无线局域网下一种基于预处理切换模式 　　摘 要:针对移动节点(mobile node,MN)在无线局域网中切换时,产生的切换延迟会严重影响实时应用的性能和丢包率问题,提出了一种基于预处理的切换模式。该模式是在满足预处理条件下,启动一种预先信道扫描算法,实施数据包的预转移和预恢复操作。这种切换模式不仅消除了切换过程中的信道扫描,而且实现了提前将发往MN的数据包转发到目的AP,从而解决了MN与对端主机建立路径所造成的丢包率过大的问题。实验结果表明,该切换模式降低了对实时应用的影响,达到了降低丢包率、减小切换延迟的目的。 　　关键词:切换;预先扫描;缓存;预转移;预恢复 　　中图分类号:TP393.17 文献标志码:A 　　文章编号:1001-3695(2010)03-1129-04 　　doi:10.3969/j.issn.1001-3695.2010.03.089 　　 　　Pre-disposal for handoff in wireless LAN 　　 　　WANG Xin-jian, SHI Hua-ji, CHE Ji-ming 　　(College of Computer Science Telecommunications Engineering, Jiangsu University, Zhenjiang Jiangsu 212013, China) 　　 　　Abstract:In order to solve the problem of huge handoff latency which had greatly influenced real-time applications and packets dropping during the handoff procedure which was implemented by MN,this paper proposed a new handoff mode, i.e. pre-disposal for handoff.In this handoff mode,pre-divert and pre-recover packets would be implemented based on channels scanning when the pre-disposal condition appeared before handoff. Thus, not only the scanning phase was eliminated during handoff, but also the packets destined for MN were pre-transferred to destination AP from current AP, and then the problem of packet loss rate caused during the route set up between MN and communication nation (CN) was solved. The experiment result shows that this handoff mode reduces the influence on real-time applications, and achieves the goal of lower packets dropping and smaller handoff latency. 　　Key words:handoff; pre-scanning; cache; pre-divert; pre-recover 　　0 引言 　　基于IEEE 802.11的无线局域网络(WLAN),由于其提供了高达11 Mbps甚至更高的网络访问带宽,在目前得到了广泛的应用,这些应用大部分主要集中在数据服务方面。但实时业务(如VoIP)等,在WLAN下的应用效果并不是很理想。其原因在于移动节点(MN)在跨接入点(access point,AP)切换[1]时会对实时业务的服务质量产生比较大的影响。而切换时的丢包率、切换延迟等则是影响WLAN实时业务服务质量的主要因素之一。 　　切换期间如果有数据包产生,不仅会导致数据包的丢失,而且会增加新的延迟。即目的AP需要代表MN广播位置更新消息,通信对端主机收到广播消息后要建立起到目的AP的路由,然后发往MN的数据包在新的链路上流动到达目的AP,MN才能收到数据包。在此之前,系统对发往MN的数据包进行转发时,仍然会向旧的AP转发。在这种情况下,硬切换[2]不会把旧链路上的数据包转发往目的AP,因此会产生较大的丢包率;平滑切换[3]会将旧链路上
