Mobility management of Internet nodes has been widely investigated over the last few years. Various schemes have been developed to support mobility in the Internet. While designing mobility management schemes, a few fundamental considerations have to be followed to achieve better performance. In this paper, we present a number of important issues that have to be considered while designing mobil...

Beyond 3G (B3G) environments typically consist of multi-homed terminals and wireless overlay networks. This paper presents a categorization of IP-level mobility management solutions for B3G environments. Closely observing the mobility requirements of a wide range of possible applications, the paper also motivates the consideration of a new mobility management approach in B3G environments, where...

PMIPv6 is a network-based mobility management protocol and plays roles for IP mobility management instead of the host. And the elements for IP mobility in a network are responsible for host mobility. This network basis is another approach to solve problems related with IP mobility. PMIPv6 can be seen as the extension of MIPv6 signaling and HA function because it performs mobility management for...

IP-based mobility management is considered as core technology in the next generation network environment since the core network is moving toward all IP network and IPbased wireless LANs are blooming. Mobile IPv6 is developed to support mobility in global network, and Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 is being considered as a local mobility management protocol to reduce signaling overhead for mobility ma...
