Mobility management is a challenging research area for vehicular networks to provide a variety of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) applications. Traditional mobility management schemes for MANET are not applicable to vehicular networks because of their distinguished mobility characteristics. Providing uninterrupted service to the mobile nodes in vehicular networks is a major concern for ...

In wireless network research, simulation is the most imperative technique to investigate the network's behavior and validation. Wireless networks typically consist of mobile hosts; therefore, the degree of validation is influenced by the underlying mobility model, and synthetic models are implemented in simulators because real life traces are not widely available. In wireless communications, mo...

In some Mobile IPv6 deployments, identifying the mobile node or the mobility service subscriber is not enough to distinguish between multiple services possibly provisioned to the said mobile node and its mobility service subscription. A capability to specify different services in addition to the mobile node identity can be leveraged to provide flexibility for mobility service providers on provi...

Cellular networks have been hierarchical so that mobility management have primarily been deployed in a centralized architecture. More flattened network architecture for the mobile Internet is anticipated to meet the needs of rapidly increasing traffic from the mobile users and to reduce cost in the core network. Distributing the mobility management functions as opposed to centralizing them at t...

This paper proposes an efficient correspondent registration mechanism to reduce the signaling overhead for the Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6). In the proposed mechanism, the signaling overhead for the proxy home test via local mobility anchor (LMA) is eliminated in case of refreshments for the correspondent registration. Therefore, through the proposed mechanism, the burden of tunnels between mobil...

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to design a biorhythm management model for Iranian public school principals with a fuzzy Delphi approach. Methodology: The design of the present study was qualitative with fuzzy Delphi method. Statistical population, professors of organizational behavior management in universities of Mazandaran province and senior managers of education departments in citi...

Mobility Support in IPv6 (MIPv6) has been approved by the Internet Engineering Task Force as the standardized solution for mobility management in the upcoming IPv6 network. However, theMIPv6 handover procedures result in a time, when theMobile Node (MN) cannot receive or send data. In this paper we present the Flow-based Fast Handover for Mobile IPv6 (FFHMIPv6) for fast redirection of the MN’s ...
