Abstract
A handover method for a wireless mobile network including interconnected mobile nodes having time varying connectivity includes determining Quality of Service (QoS) resources of each potential routing path between a mobile node and a correspondent node. The method also includes pre-allocating the QoS resources along at least one potential routing path in advance before initiating a handover of a data flow to be transmitted from the mobile node to the correspondent node via a selected routing path. In addition, the method includes redirecting the data flow to a routing path with best available QoS capabilities as the selected routing path and, in case of sufficient QoS capabilities, reserving the determined QoS resources for the data flow to be transmitted via the selected routing path.
