An MPLS-Based Micro-Mobility Solution IEEE-802.21-Based Control Plane

چکیده
Core network micro-mobility solutions resolve L3 handovers and may be based on the Internet Protocol (IP) or on Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS). When a micro-mobility solution triggers the L3 handover before the L2 handover, it is called predictive, otherwise reactive. The outage period due to the handover is smaller for predictive solutions. However, in order to be predictive, a L3 mobility solution needs support from the underlying link-layer. This support may be provided with the help of IEEE 802.21 that is exploited for intra-technology handovers in WLANs in this paper.

Mobility label based network: Hierarchical mobility management and packet forwarding architecture
Scalability of the network layer mobility management solution is one of the most important requirements for the mobility control plane. Mobility Label Based Network (MLBN) is a new approach to the network layer mobility management problem that relies solely on MPLS to provide both macroand micro-mobility for IPv4 and IPv6 mobile hosts and routers. This new approach does not rely on the existing...

In this paper, we extend NS-2 to simulate Micro-Mobile MPLS frameworks. The extension supports most of the important mechanisms used in the literature. The simulator is based on IEEE 802.11. The important mechanisms for IEEE 802.11 in our module are multi-channel, directional antennas, multiple interfaces, L2-handoff, L2-trigger, bicasting, pre-established LSP, and buffering mechanism. MPLS mod...

متن کاملSupport of micro-mobility in MPLS-based wireless access networks
In this paper, we propose an architecture for the MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching)-based micro-mobility management including label switched path setup, packet forwarding, handoff processing, and paging. In order to prevent packet loss during handoff, we propose two packet recovery mechanisms, namely: buffer time-based packet recovery and medium access control (MAC) layer assisted packet re...
متن کاملAn IEEE 802.21-based Universal Information Service
Increased mobility and a heterogeneous network environment result in mobile devices frequently connecting to new access networks about which they lack information. Providing information about those access networks, supported local services, and information about the current usage context could enable mobile devices to automatically adapt to their environment. Such selfadaptation significantly r...
