Abstract :
In this paper, we describe the roaming service with mobile IP between WLAN and mobile system, and show the implementation in SK Telecom cellular network. In terms of network configuration, the coverage of WLAN network is overlapped with cellular network. In this configuration, we propose the roaming method based on WLAN signal strength in hybrid network environments, and apply our proposed method to hybrid networks.
