A Survey on Signaling Load in Mobility Management

-In this paper survey on various approaches for reducing signaling load is done. The objective of this work is to provide various methods for reducing signaling load in Mobile Internet Protocol (MIP) network. In MIP lots of binding related message needs to be exchange to provide mobility to mobile node. Frequent exchange of binding related message increases the signaling load. Higher signaling load may reduce the scalability of network. Higher signaling load can even overload the mobility agent as they need to process more binding related message. Thus most of the work associated with reducing the signaling load mainly tries to minimize the number of binding related message. Keywords-Mobile, Mobility Management, Signaling, Internet
