报告简介：

Traditional mobility management essentially deals with layer 2 handoff, i.e., base station handoff, or layer 3 handoff, i.e., IP/router handoff. With the advanced networking and computing technologies, different innovative applications and services are feasible and thus mobility management on the application layer becomes required. Layer 5 (L5) session handoff means transferring a networking session from one end device to the other end device and/or from one sub-network to the other sub-network. This talk will concentrate on L5 session handoff for ubiquitous multimedia streaming services. An illustrated L5 session handoff for ubiquitous multimedia streaming service is transferring a VOD session from the home TV to a smart phone. Three main technical issues for tackling L5 session handoff for ubiquitous multimedia streaming services are (1) ubiquitous communication and signaling issue, (2) session mobility management issue, and (3) adaptive multimedia transmission control issue. This talk will explain these issues and the corresponding solutions.
