Evaluation of HMIPv6 Algorithm in 5G Mmwave Single and Dual Connectivity Handover Network

Abstract

In this article, we analyzed a Handover Mobile IPv6 (HMIPv6) algorithm under conditions of 5G millimeter wave (mmWave) single and dual connectivity. A single connectivity enables handover between 5G base stations. Meanwhile, a dual connectivity is a handover occurred from a 4G base station to a 5G base station. In sending data, TCP has a congestion control algorithm that allows TCP to handle any congestion problems on the network. In this article, we analyzed the HMIPv6 performance using TCP YeAH and TCP CUBIC with various user equipment (UE) speeds. It showed that each TCP had a fairly stable delay and throughput under the condition of the single connectivity handover with an average delay of 192.8196 ms and average throughput of 52.8812 Mb/s. Whereas, in the dual connectivity handover condition, each TCP had a fluctuating delay and throughput directly proportional to the increasing UE speed. Therefore, TCP YeAH dominated the stability in dual connectivity with an average delay of 221.4226 ms and average throughput of 44.4004 Mb/s. Overall, this article found that TCP YeAH performed better than TCP CUBIC in both the single connectivity and dual connectivity handovers.
