P-SIGMA: A paging enabled transport layer mobility management scheme

Paging is a well established technique to reduce signalling cost in mobile devices. Different proposals in literature has shown the implementation and improvement of Mobile IP with paging. Here we propose P-SIGMA, an improved, more signalling cost effective version of SIGMA, an IP diversity based end to end transport layer mobility scheme. We show that with all the benefits of a transport layer mobility management scheme like SIGMA, P-SIGMA, as a mobility management scheme, is more efficient in terms of location management and is more cost effective in terms of signalling load.
