This report investigates methods for identifying the optimal (best overall, taking into account all benefits and costs) transportation emission reduction strategies. Current evaluation methods tend to undervalue mobility management (strategies that change travel behavior to increase transport system efficiency, also called Transportation Demand Management or TDM) due to various types of biases:...

The rapid growth in mobile traffic leads to the current evolution trend of mobile networks towards a flat architecture. However, the centralized mobility management protocols (e.g. MIPv6, PMIPv6) are not optimized for the flat architecture due to their limitations e.g. complex tunnel management, scalability issue, etc. Hence, a novel mobility management has been proposed for the flat architectu...

In recent years, a significant amount of research work has addressed the use of code mobility in network management. In this paper, we introduce first three aspects of code mobility and argue that constrained mobility offers a natural and easy approach to network management programmability. While mobile agent platforms can support constrained mobility in a rather heavyweight fashion, optimized ...

In this paper, we present our implementation of TeleMIP, a twolevel architecture for IP-based mobility management. TeleMIP essentially uses an Intra-Domain Mobility Management Protocol (IDMP) for managing mobility within a domain, and Mobile IP for supporting inter-domain (global) mobility. Unlike other proposed schemes for intra-domain mobility management, IDMP uses two care-of addresses for m...

Most existing mobility management deployments such as MIPv6, PMIPv6 and 3GPP utilize centralized mobility anchors in the hierarchical network architecture. Centralized mobility schemes are subject to restrictions on reliability of SPOF (Single Point Of Failure) and network scalability, etc. As an alternative to the centralized approaches, DMM (Distributed Mobility Management) mechanisms have be...

Convergence is a key design aspect for next generation networks. Developing a general mobility management model is an important requirement for the integrated mobile networks. This paper begins with a survey of mobility management concept. Based on the analysis and comparison, we present a conceptual explanation of mobility management layer for mobility and its management. An index structure fr...

This paper presents a study on the benefits of multi-level hierarchy for scalable mobility management in the wireless mobile IP context. Micro mobility management is considered. The analysis took advantage of the locality in movement and call activities of mobile users. It was discovered that whether multi-level hierarchy is beneficial or not depends on the type of address management employed i...

Proxy Mobile IPV6 (PMIPV6) is a network based mobility management protocol which supports node's mobility without the contribution from the respective mobile node. PMIPV6 is initially designed to support individual node mobility and it should be enhanced to support mobile network movement. NEMO-BSP is an existing protocol to support network mobility (NEMO) in PMIPV6 network. Due to the underlyi...

Standard IP mobility management (IP-MM) commonly known as Mobile IP, presents a set of technical challenges in performance and scalability, as the mobile host (MN) varies the handoff rate, due to its mobility pattern, between successive wireless points of attachment; these manifest themselves primarily as increased signalling between the MN and its peers. In addition, they encompass sources of ...

Internet of Things (IoT) devices, which have different characteristics in mobility and communication patterns from traditional mobile devices such as cellular phones, have come into existence as a new type of mobile devices. A strict mobility management scheme for providing highly mobile devices with seamless access is over-engineered for IoT devices’ mobility management. We revisit current mob...
