Predictive context transfer protocol for mobility management in centralized wireless local area network
In secured large scale Wireless Local Area Network, Context Transfer (CT) technique has been proposed to reduce the main handover latency component in a secured environment, which is 802.1x authentication phase. In order to achieve seamless handover, this work will use the CT technique to transfer t...

In secured large scale Wireless Local Area Network, Context Transfer (CT) technique has been proposed to reduce the main handover latency component in a secured environment, which is 802.1x authentication phase. In order to achieve seamless handover, this work will use the CT technique to transfer the Pairwise Master Key (PMK) of clients to the new Access Point (AP) before handover process. However the drawback of using CT method is that the AP will receive the context cache even if a mobile user is not roaming, resulting in high memory usage in the AP. In this thesis, a context aware handover management technique is introduced to predict the handover initiation for mobile user in an indoor environment. The predictive technique includes a method called Received Signal Strength (RSS) transition pattern and client’s Moving Weight (MW) to detect handover initialisation for mobile users.
