Typical PMIPv6 supports mobility management for the Mobile Host (MH) in localized domains over variant Wireless Local Area Network technologies. The typical PMIPv6 adopted in reactive mode in which break-before-make technique may concern,which results in long disruption latency and inevitable data traffic loss that negatively affects MH's communication performance. This article proposes a proac...

Abstract With the purpose of providing higher data rate and ultra-reliable low-latency communications for users, employing small cells in upcoming Fifth-Generation-New Radio (5G-NR) cellular networks beyond is leading to serious challenges mobility management due dynamicity user equipments (UEs). Among different issues related UEs, handover one key procedures let UEs experience a high quality s...

NEtwork MObility Basic Support (NEMO BS) protocol has been investigated to provide Internet connectivity of a group of nodes, which is suitable for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) applications. Since NEMO BS is based on Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6), it often increases traffic load and handover latency due to the handover procedure. Thus, schemes combining Proxy MIPv6 (PMIPv6) with NEMO (PNEMO) ...

Under conventional Mobile IP, all traffic to a MN is tunneled to the current Foreign Agent (FA) from the remote HA, which can result in poor efficiency. Dynamic Home Agent (HA) reassignment model is proposed in this paper to reduce both the signaling traffic and the data traffic to the home network. Simultaneous bindings with two or more HAs are supported in our model to provide seamless HA han...

Evolved Packet System (EPS) presents the EPS evolution of the 3G/UMTS standard introduced by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standard committee. Interworking issues between EPS and IEEE 802.11 networks will become a new challenging problem. In this paper, we propose a fast seamless handoff scheme using a optimized PMIPv6 between IEEE 802.11 (WiFi) and EPS networks, without modifyi...

In the Host Identity Protocol (HIP), the existing host-based handover scheme tends to induce large handover delays and packet loss rates. To deal with this problem, we are proposing a network-based handover scheme for HIP in the mobile networks, in which the access routers of the mobile node will establish a handover tunnel and will perform the route optimization for data transmission. We also ...
