Esa Piri completed his Master Thesis on “Implementation of media independent handover for wireless broadband multimedia application”

Esa’s thesis reviews the IEEE 802.21 draft standard and presents a prototype implementation for GNU/Linux. The prototype MIHF implementation is evaluated at the VTT Converging Networks Laboratory. The MIHF can also be used by multimedia applications, as the preliminary integration examples indicate, for traffic and network application adaptation beyond handovers, based on both dynamic and static link information available via IEEE 802.21. Furthermore, the thesis includes an evaluation of VoIP aggregation and Robust Header Compression (ROHC) over the WiMAX testbed at CNL.
