Development of IPv6 network with location assisted transfer for real time applications

Abstract

An approach is presented to develop a system that has a location tracking mechanism to track the position of tile mobile unit (such as WiFi enabled devices or POA) so that a device switching can be done to switch session from one device to another in order to provide roaming in an IPv6 network. In this work an IPv6 framework will be formulated and set up as a read lest bed. Meanwhile a location tracking mechanism will be deve loped and Integrated into the IMS IPv6 network with real time application and soft switch module to ensure continuous muft im€dia communication in the Internet whIle roaming. The proposed location tracking will be based on Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI). An accurate Path Loss Exponent will be calculated based on the RSSI and accurate pos itioning will be de/ermined for soft switching of devices. The IMS based on IPv6 network will be developed and integrate with the location tracking system. The location tracking will be purely software based with minimum hardware dependent
