Abstract: This study proposes a new method to facilitate seamless vertical hand over between UMTS and WLAN networks using stream control transmission protocol. Multi-homing, Single homing address reconfiguration methods are adopted here to improve throughput performance unlike mobile IP, session initiation protocol, SCTP does not require home and foreign agents to the existing networks. Performance evaluation of both single homing and multi homing features are studied and demonstrated here.
