This paper investigates mobility management strategies from the point of view of their need of signalling and processing resources on the backbone network and load on the air interface. A method is proposed to model the serving network and mobile node mobility in order to be able to compare the different types of mobility management algorithms. To obtain a good description of the network we cal...

This article presents a multilayer mobility management scheme for All-IP networks where local mobility movements (micro-mobility) are handled separately from global movements (macro-mobility). Furthermore, a hybrid scheme is proposed to handle macro-mobility (Mobile IP for non-real-time services and SIP for real-time services). The interworking between micromobility and macro-mobility is implem...

IP Mobility Management allowing for handover and location management to be handled by the network layer has been around for a couple of 20 years or so now. A number of protocols have been proposed including the GPRS Tunneling Protocol (GTP), Mobile IP, Proxy Mobile IP, and the Locator/Identifier Split Protocol (LISP) being the best known and most discussed in the research literature. This paper...

In draft-kempf-netlmm-nohost-ps, the problems with using global IP mobility management protocols for local mobility and some problems with existing localized mobility management protocols are described. In this document, we explore requirements for localized mobility management in more detail. An extensive gap analysis against the protocols illustrates where existing protocols are able to fulfi...

The mobility in mobile ad hoc networks is an application that uses location information of nodes in a network to identify present location of a node. Since we need to get better QOS, mobility management is considered scalable and dynamic compared to other QoS parameters in mobile ad hoc networks. Mobility management in mobile ad hoc networks are mainly motivated by the adoption of dynamic mobil...

The theme of this thesis is the advancement of IP mobility management mechanisms to support robustly the delay requirements of interactive IP applications services. Current IPv6 mobility management standards are heavily dependent on reactive manipulations of the IP handoff process. Such modus operandi appears to be insufficient to address delay transparency during interactive IP communications....

Problem statement for distributed and dynamic mobility management draft-chan-distributed-mobility-ps-03 Abstract The traditional hierarchical structure of cellular networks has led to deployment models which are heavily centralized. Mobility management with centralized mobility anchoring in existing hierarchical mobile networks is quite prone to suboptimal routing and issues related to scalabil...

The mobility management issue in IP access networks can be dealt with from various perspectives. A possible approach includes the use of the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and its associate entities for mobility signaling. Following this approach, existing SIP functionality in a network can be reused for mobility management purposes, providing efficient utilization of resources. In this pape...

This document discusses the issues associated with mobility management for dual stack mobile nodes. Currently, two mobility management protocols are defined for IPv4 and IPv6. Deploying both in a dual stack mobile node introduces a number of problems. Deployment and operational issues motivate the use of a single mobility management protocol. This document discusses such motivations. The docume...

Telecommunication service systems have been developing rapidly during the last five decades. The service architectures as well as the technologies for design, implementation, deployment, execution, and management of the services have been under continuous development. The focus of this thesis is mobility management in adaptable service systems. Adaptable service systems are service systems that...
