Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for managing a low latency of handover of MH comprising the steps of: determining imminence handover of the MH whether intra-domain or inter-domain using hybrid location tracking scheme, initiating an intra-domain handover mechanism if the handover is the intra-domain handover through transmitting the MH's context transfer towards multiple new MAG domain based on MCE list; initiating an inter-domain handover mechanism if the handover is the inter-domain handover through transmitting the MH's context transfer towards multiple fLMA domain based on the HLCE list; and redirecting all traffic towards the MH. The above provision is advantageous as it provides a hybrid latency low intra/inter-domain handover mechanism, which proactively coordinates MH's handover process as well as maintains MH's data session continually during its intra/inter-domain roaming within/across PMIPv6 domain respectively.
