In wireless networks, efficient management of mobility is a crucial issue to support mobile users. The Mobile Internet Protocol (MIP) has been proposed to support global mobility in IP networks. Several mobility management strategies have been proposed which aim reducing the signalling traffic related to the Mobile Terminals (MTs) registration with the Home Agents (HAs) whenever their Care-of-A...

Transport layer mobility management is proposed as an alternative to network layer methods like Mobile IP for realising seamless mobility in the Internet. Mobility management in the transport layer is purely accomplished by use of SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) and some of its currently proposed extensions. With Mobile SCTP seamless hand over even crossing physical, link and networ...

The integration of wireless local area networks (WLANs) and the high speed wide area network (WAN) using ‘always on’ broadband access that could provide an efficient and cost effective inter-WLAN mobility management requires the current WLAN internetworking protocol enhanced. The Inter Access Point Protocol (IAPP) defines methods for access point coordination over a distribution system to suppo...

This study refers to EVOLUTE (a project of Information Society Technologies (IST)) that combines Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) with Mobile IP (MIP) to support macro-mobility management and provides seamless multimedia services for roaming users. Moreover, this study utilizes Multicast-based Mobility (M&M) to assist Cellular IP (CIP) in micro-mobility management. The aim of this work is to g...

Now a day’s efficient mobility management for mobile users in wireless networking is a crucial issue. To maintain global mobility in IP networking the Mobile internet protocol has been proposed. To reduce the signalling traffic related to the Mobile Terminals (MTs) registration with the Home Agents (HAs), whenever their Care-of-Addresses (CoAs) change several mobility management strategies have...

There has been significant progress in the field of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET) over the last several years which support vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications. With the two types of communication modes, user can access the internet and existing mobility management can be reviewed. Mobility management and handoffs are the most challenging research issues for vehi...

It came to the light of the world that last few years have brought a boom in the wireless communication. Continuous progresses in this field have opened new research field in computer networking aimed at enhancing data network connectivity to environment where the wired networks are not that practical. Due to importance of related applications vehicular networks are attracting most of the resea...

This paper is committed to give an overview of the Host Identity Protocol (HIP), to introduce the basic ideas and the main paradigms behind it, and to make an exhaustive survey of mobility management schemes in the Host Identity Layer. The authors’ goal is to show how HIP emerges from the list of potential alternatives with its wild range of possible usability, complex feature set and power to ...

The growth of the mobile network system of which the cellular systems like Global System Mobile Communications (GSM) and Personal Digital Cellular (PDC) are representative and the IP network attracts worldwide attention. The IP network access through the mobile data network system is required strongly to use the useful IP services anytime and anywhere. Therefore on the mobile data network syste...
