Delay and packet loss caused by the basic mobile IPv6 handover protocol can not guarantee the service quality of real-time communication. In order to improve the performance of fast handover of the mobile IPv6, we proposed a fast handover scheme based on hierarchical mobility which combines micro mobility and the link layer trigger. By shielding local mobility of the mobile node, the scheme can greatly reduce the signaling information traffic from mobile node to HA and CN. Through the link layer trigger mechanism, the scheme builds a tunnel in advance to avoid packet loss. In order to verify the performance of the proposed scheme, we did some simulation experiments in the NS-2 environment. The simulation results show that the scheme reduces handover delay and packet loss effectively.
