A Novel and Seamless Approach for Vertical Handover using Agent based Middleware in 4GThis thesis presented IAF-PMIPv6, an Intelligent Agent Framework which provides complete communication solution for Proxy Mobile IPv6 domain. PMIPv6 document is provided by IETF NetLMM WG to standardize a network-based mobility management protocol in 2005. PMIPv6 achieves the function of mobility management without mobile node’s participation. Therefore, it is believed to speed up the deployment of IP mobility management and to be the solution for mobility management in the future all-IP wireless networks. Though, PMIPv6 reduces handover latency but still has been suffering from lot of other drawbacks. The adoption of mobile software agents enables us to achieve the delegated goals.
