Cellular SCTP: a transport-layer approach to Internet mobility
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we describe a transport layer mobility scheme termed Cellular SCTP, or cSCTP for short, based on the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP), for seamless soft handoff. We compare Mobile IPv6 and two of its variants (Mobile IPv6 with Fast-Handover and Hierarchical Mobile IPv6) with cSCTP on various aspects (especially the handoff process of micro-mobility). We also analyze the Mobile IPv6 handover mechanism in detail to reveal the operations that constitutes extra delays or packet losses caused by handoffs. Furthermore, we describe the interworking of cSCTP with SIP for mobility management.

Mobile SCTP Transport Layer Mobility Management for the Internet
Transport layer mobility management is proposed as an alternative to network layer methods like Mobile IP for realising seamless mobility in the Internet. Mobility management in the transport layer is purely accomplished by use of SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) and some of its currently proposed extensions. With Mobile SCTP seamless hand over even crossing physical, link and networ...
متن کاملMobile SCTP for IP Mobility Support in All-IP Networks
The Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) is a new transport protocol that is featured multi-streaming and multi-homing. Until now, the two approaches have been considered for IP mobility management: Mobile IP in the network layer and SIP in the application layer scheme. In this paper, we discuss the use of SCTP for IP mobility support in the transport layer. We provide a framework of the...
متن کاملHierarchical Location Management for Transport Layer Mobility
IP mobility can be handled at different layers of the protocol stack. Mobile IP has been developed to handle mobility of Internet hosts at the network layer. As an alternative solution, a number of transport layer mobility protocols have been proposed, for example, MSOCKS and TCP connection migration solution in the context of TCP, and M-SCTP and mobile SCTP in the context of SCTP. More recentl...

A new SIP standard based on peer to peer paradigm allows the keeping of user localization information in a decentralized way, adding flexibility to real-time mobile communications. Despite specification of terminal mobility in P2PSIP, handover procedures in transport-layer have better performance when compared with solutions in application-layer of Internet. SCTP transport protocol supports han...

In this chapter, we discuss the transport layer design issues in a mobile wireless networks. The focus will be put on two transport protocols: Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP). TCP is the dominant transport protocol currently used for most Internet services such as Web browsing, file transfer, remote login etc. SCTP is a recently developed prot...
