In ubiquitous wireless LANs, a mobile node is likely to move between many access points while using certain applications. However, in the conventional Internet architecture, an MN can never inherently avoid the degradation in communication quality during handover. To achieve seamless handover, we propose a service-oriented mobility management scheme to address application quality. In this article, we first clarify three requirements for achieving seamless handover. We then describe our concept of the service-oriented mobility management scheme, which satisfies all three requirements. Our main contribution is the proposal of a scheme of how to properly use the number of frame retransmissions as a new handover-decision criterion to accomplish seamless handover. Performance evaluations show that our proposed scheme can maintain application quality during handover
