Diffserv extensions for QoS provisioning in IP mobility environments.

We focus on DiffServ for QoS provisioning in radio access networks (RANs). We first give short explanations of the DiffServ model. We then investigate the problems of DiffServ under IP mobility environments. We also present several DiffServ proposals in IP-based access networks. We finally propose a mobility-aware drop precedence scheme for flows experiencing handover events. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
