Mobility management for TCP connections has been discussed in literature since last several years. Many mobility management solutions have been proposed including end-to-end solutions and infrastructure dependent solutions. These solutions operate at different layers of TCP/IP protocol stack. End-to-end mobility management solutions have the advantage of not requiring the deployment of addition...

Requirements of distributed mobility management draft-ietf-dmm-requirements-01 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 scalability. Centralized function...

Problem statement for distributed and dynamic mobility management draft-chan-distributed-mobility-ps-04 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...

This draft proposes a distributed architecture of mobility management in terms of abstracted logical functions. Mobility management functions are abstracted into different logical functions: (1) allocation of home network prefixes or home addresses to mobile nodes; (2) location management which includes managing the IP addresses and locations of the mobile nodes; and (3) mobility routing which ...

The management of the mobility between radio networks composed of heterogeneous radio technologies, called inter-access mobility management, provides the capability to tie together heterogeneous radio networks into an integrated network. The 3GPP architectures with well-designed inter-access mobility management capabilities are a part of the solution to cope with the growth of the mobile data t...

Mobility management is a key aspect to consider in future Internet architectures, as these architectures include a highly nomadic end-user which often relies on services provided by multi-access networks. In contrast, today’s mobility management solutions were designed having in mind simpler scenarios and requirements from the network and where roaming could often be taken care of with previous...

The mobility management is a significant issue in 4G heterogeneous networks. However, the mobility needs to be managed by upper layer in the networks because of the limitation of mobility management at link layer. Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) supports personal mobility so that a user can be found independent of location and network device. But it cannot support IP mobility and cannot maint...
