Abstract: Handover between heterogeneous networks is a key problem of mobility management in the next generation mobile network. In order to solve the problem, solutions in different network level and the scheme of MIH (Media Independent Handover) are discussed. In order to optimize vertical handover management, an approach based on MIH and mobile IP is proposed. A simulation of this approach is made by NS2 and the result shows good performance.

Key words: heterogeneous network, vertical handover, IEEE 802.21, MIH
