A service continuity mechanism based on IPv6 at mobile station for CDMA/WLAN interworking

This paper specifies a service continuity mechanism based on IPv6 at a mobile station for CDMA/WLAN interworking. The integration of CDMA and WLAN wireless technologies offers the possibility of achieving anywhere, anytime Internet access, bringing benefits to both end users and service providers. A mobile station with two different network interfaces must support a service continuity mechanism for a seamless service. Because current network applications and IP protocols are expected to have a single network interface, a mobile station with more than two different network interfaces does not use directly current IP protocols and network applications. In this paper, we discuss the motivation for a service continuity mechanism based on IPv6 for CDMA/WLAN interworking and propose our system to support this mechanism.
