Problem statement for distributed and dynamic mobility management draft-chan-distributed-mobility-ps-03 Abstract The traditional hierarchical structure of cellular networks has led to deployment models which are heavily centralized. Mobility management with centralized mobility anchoring in existing hierarchical mobile networks is quite prone to suboptimal routing and issues related to scalabil...

Mobile users will soon join the Internet. Given the frantic pace of In-ternet evolution, there is an urgent need to examine the performance requirement for and impact of mobility support. The study here looks at six such performance issues, three on the traac overhead, advertisement frequency and registration lifetime for a mobile Internet Protocol, and another three on the congestion, throughp...

IP Mobility Management allowing for handover and location management to be handled by the network layer has been around for a couple of 20 years or so now. A number of protocols have been proposed including the GPRS Tunneling Protocol (GTP), Mobile IP, Proxy Mobile IP, and the Locator/Identifier Split Protocol (LISP) being the best known and most discussed in the research literature. This paper...

Telecommunication service systems have been developing rapidly during the last five decades. The service architectures as well as the technologies for design, implementation, deployment, execution, and management of the services have been under continuous development. The focus of this thesis is mobility management in adaptable service systems. Adaptable service systems are service systems that...

This document discusses the issues associated with mobility management for dual stack mobile nodes. Currently, two mobility management protocols are defined for IPv4 and IPv6. Deploying both in a dual stack mobile node introduces a number of problems. Deployment and operational issues motivate the use of a single mobility management protocol. This document discusses such motivations. The docume...

This draft proposes a distributed architecture of mobility management in terms of abstracted logical functions. Mobility management functions are abstracted into different logical functions: (1) allocation of home network prefixes or home addresses to mobile nodes; (2) location management which includes managing the IP addresses and locations of the mobile nodes; and (3) mobility routing which ...

The theme of this thesis is the advancement of IP mobility management mechanisms to support robustly the delay requirements of interactive IP applications services. Current IPv6 mobility management standards are heavily dependent on reactive manipulations of the IP handoff process. Such modus operandi appears to be insufficient to address delay transparency during interactive IP communications....

Requirements of distributed mobility management draft-ietf-dmm-requirements-01 Abstract The traditional hierarchical structure of cellular networks has led to deployment models which are heavily centralized. Mobility management with centralized mobility anchoring in existing hierarchical mobile networks is quite prone to suboptimal routing and issues related to scalability. Centralized function...
