Mobile Internet Protocol version 6 (MIPv6) has been proposed to solve the problem of mobility in the new era of Internet by handling routing of IPv6 packets to mobile nodes that have moved away from their home network. Users will move frequently between networks, as they stay connected to the Internet. Thus, as mobility increases across networks, handovers will significantly impact the quality ...

In this paper, we investigate a proxy-based integrated cache consistency and mobility management scheme for supporting client–server applications in Mobile IP systems with the objective to minimize the overall network traffic generated. Our cache consistency management scheme is based on a stateful strategy by which cache invalidation messages are asynchronously sent by the server to a mobile h...

SIP is promising for VoIP signaling to support personal mobility. In this paper, we introduce and compare single registration (SR) and multiple registration (MR) for personal mobility. The SR scheme can not support personal mobility without user’s assistance. In contrast, the MR scheme supports personal mobility inherently using sequential search or pure parallel search. Sequential search may s...

With the growing development of Different Access Technology Type (DATT), a serving Mobile Router (MR) is capable to connect with multiple interfaces concurrently during handoff among DATT. Correspondingly, a shared prefixbased based flow movement in multihomed Network Mobility (NEMO) can be achieved in order to transfer real time application flows among the most appropriate Access Technology Ty...

Intelligent transportation system (ITS) consists of moving networks, where the network mobility (NEMO) basic support is adopted as a mobility management protocol for moving networks. Even though NEMO basic support (NBS) provides a basic mobility support for ITS systems, the mobile routers (MR) need to participate in the mobility signaling. In the literature, network based mobility management su...

This paper presents a survey of mobility management protocols for Wireless Asynchronous Transfer Mode (WATM) networks. Basic architectural assumptions for WATM networks are presented, followed by an overview of location registration, call delivery, and terminal paging techniques. Next, a collection of protocols for handoo connection rerouting is examined. The paper concludes with a discussion o...

This paper describes the support provided for mobility and fault tolerance in Mykil, which a key distribution protocol for large, secure group multicast. Mykil is based on a combination of group-based hierarchy and key-based hierarchy systems for group key management. Important advantages of Mykil include a fast and efficient rekeying operation for large group sizes, continuous availability of ...

In the future mobile network, satellites will operate alongside cellular networks in order to provide seamless connectivity irrespective of the location of the user. Such a service scenario requires that the next generation of mobility management (MM) procedures are able to ensure terminal and user mobility on a global scale. This paper considers how the principles of Mobile-IP can be used to d...
