A MPLS Framework for Macro- and Micro-Mobility Management
نویسنده
چکیده
Mobile IP (MIP) provides a global framework for IP mobility management; however, it is not suitable for micro-mobility environments. Many domain-based micromobility management schemes have been proposed to overcome the limit of MIP. All these scheme delegate to MIP for inter-domain mobility. Recently there is a trend to use Multiple Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) to deal with mobility management. However, macroand micromobility functions are treated separately. In this paper, we propose an architecture using MPLS for integrated macroand micro-mobility management. Novel techniques are proposed to facilitate Label Switch Path (LSP) setup to support Differentiated and Integrated Services. Based on the proposed architecture, we also present route optimization and paging methods.

Mobility label based network: Hierarchical mobility management and packet forwarding architecture
Scalability of the network layer mobility management solution is one of the most important requirements for the mobility control plane. Mobility Label Based Network (MLBN) is a new approach to the network layer mobility management problem that relies solely on MPLS to provide both macroand micro-mobility for IPv4 and IPv6 mobile hosts and routers. This new approach does not rely on the existing...

In this paper, we propose an architecture for the MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching)-based micro-mobility management including label switched path setup, packet forwarding, handoff processing, and paging. In order to prevent packet loss during handoff, we propose two packet recovery mechanisms, namely: buffer time-based packet recovery and medium access control (MAC) layer assisted packet re...

One of the major challenges for the nextgeneration mobile systems is related to efficient mobility management issue. In this paper, we propose a new micromobility management scheme, called Micro Mobile MPLS, that supports both mobility and quality-of-service (QoS) management in wireless networks. Our proposal includes two protocol variants. In the first variant, called FHMicro Mobile MPLS, we c...
متن کاملA network architecture for MPLS-based micro-mobility
Current mobile networks provide link-layer mobility as a mobile host changes its point of attachment within the scope of an access node, and provide wide-area mobility through global mobility protocols such as Mobile IP. Recently, several proposals have been made for an intermediate level of mobility support, called micro-mobility which addresses the issues of handover latency, signaling overhe...

MPLS has allowed us to add connectionoriented capabilities over Internet. In addition to this, by reading only the label rather than the entire IP packet, routers are able to achieve higher forwarding speeds. Supporting mobile users in MPLS-based wireless networks and its various derivatives is quite a new subject, still in the research stage. Several schemes to support mobility in MPLS (e.g. H...
