Abstract

As the access patterns of mobile users are diverse and their traffic demand is growing, multiple wireless access networks become dominant and their coexistence will be the norm in the future Internet infrastructure. To evaluate protocols and algorithms in these heterogeneous wireless networking environments, testbed-based experiments are of crucial importance since mathematical modeling and simulation cannot reflect the high complexity of systems and wireless link dynamics sufficiently. Leveraging femtocell technologies, we propose and build a testbed in which WiFi access points and WiMAX base stations are integrated. We also implement the vertical handover functionality through the SIP protocol, and carry out comprehensive measurements to analyze vertical handover delays. The testbed measurements of vertical handovers reveal that the DHCP mechanism, the authentication process in WiMAX, and the probing process in WiFi incur substantial delay.
