There are some research outcomes focusing on using CXTP
to reduce the disruption time of handover procedure. One of
them is in IMS context where two scenarios have been
proposed to support seamless handover in IMS over IPv6
network [8]. The authors have used the CXTP to improve QoS
provisioning in mobile IMS-IPv6 by transferring QoS
parameters and reserve resources along the handover. To
decrease communication delay of IMS re-registration, two
solutions are introduced in [9] that reduce the handover delay
in macro mobility by sharing the registration information and
call states. Also in [9], a cross-layer fast hierarchical handover
mechanism (CLFH) for IEEE 802.16e networks is introduced.

PROPOSED SCHEME
A. Problem Statement
The proposed internetworking architecture is illustrated in
Fig. 5. As shown, we proposed to use Context Transfer
protocol to transfer the user and session information between
the previous and the new BSs, ASN-GWs and P-CSCFs
B. Proposed Scheme
In the first transfer, in order to accelerate the network reentry phase, the target BS can obtain the configurations and
settings, such as service flows, state machines, and service
information, of an MN from the serving BS via the context
server without the involvement of an MN. This feature helps an

VII. CONCLUSION
In order to improve the performance of the MIPv6
handover procedure in presence of WiMAX network we have
focused on WiMAX handover in IPv6-based next generation
mobile networks. At the first, we briefly described IMS, MIPv6
and mobile WiMAX networks and also the current original
mode of handover procedure. Then we proposed an optimized
scheme and compared its performance in terms of handover
disruption time with the standard model. To optimize handover
delays and reduce the total disruption time, we use context
transfer mechanism and combine handover messages by its
messages. We achieved better handover performance and lower
handover messages, which was validated via numerical
analysis. Our performance evaluation implies that shorter
handover latency is achieved as fewer messages are required
for the re-registration and re-invitation of the CN, and for the
session re-establishment.
