Seamless Mobility Management between IP-based Networks

Seamless Mobility Management between IP-based Networks

This article represents an approach of providing seamless services to the mobile consumer in an area having convergence of different Radio Access Technologies (RATs). In particular, the proposed framework is capable of managing session mobility between General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) and Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) at the core network level. Within this interwork...

Proactive seamless mobility management for future IP radio access networks

Cellular communications are aligning rapidly to adopt suitable network models for supporting packet switched services over IP networks. Pure third generation (3G) wireless architectures have already adopted IP as the network layer bearer within their core network component specification. This article presents an architecture and protocol in support of proactive mobility management for future IP...

Modeling IP-Based Mobility Management

Mobility of a phone within a cellular network or of a computer within the Internet has to be managed by the respective network infrastructure: Routes to and from a mobile device have to be changed. In order to base mobility management of future cellular networks on IP, the Internet Protocol, various proposals like Mobile IP are currently being discussed. In this paper, we develop a simple model...
