Abstract

3G- and WLAN-capable mobile devices supporting 3GPP Release 8 can perform seamless handover between 3G and WLAN. IP address of the device then stays constant, whereas the physical network interface changes. Behavior of common network applications (downloads, buffered video, streaming audio, VoIP) in such situation is tested using a Nokia N900 device. Network delay estimates and TCP RTT graphs are obtained. Common measures to mitigate problems induced by handover are briefly discussed.
