Abstract

The improvement of wireless solutions aimed to the provision oftelecommunication services has led to the development of differenttechnologies for specific environments, each one of them with a particulararchitecture and scope. This fast development has highlighted the needof the services, which are largely provided on the infrastructure available,always searching the best performance network offered at a time andplace.An alternatively for this process is the Research Group IEEE 802.21, whichis in charge of standardizing the Media Independent Handover (MIH)solution of interoperability at Layer 2 between technologies IEEE, andbetween these and the current cellular networks.This article presents the process for the implementation of a NS2 (NetworkSimulator 2) agent to evaluate the behavior of Media IndependentInformation Service (MIIS) of IEEE 802.21 (IEEE, 2008) on a high mobilityscenario.
