Mobility Management for Hierarchical Wireless Networks

In this paper, we consider the mobility management in large, hierarchically organized multihop wireless networks. The examples of such networks range from battlefield networks, emergency disaster relief and law enforcement etc. We present a novel network addressing architecture to accommodate mobility using a Home Agent concept akin to mobile IP. We distinguish between the physical routing hierarchy (dictated by geographical relationships between nodes) and logical hierarchy of subnets in which the members move as a group (e.g., company, brigade, battalion in the battlefield). The performance of the mobility management scheme is investigated through simulation.     

Terminal-Controlled Mobility Management in Heterogeneous Wireless Networks

The coexistence of multiple access technologies deployed by different operators is fundamental for future fourth-generation mobile networks. In spite of this heterogeneity, seamless interoperator/intersystem mobility is a mandatory requirement. In this article we present a seamless mobility management approach that does not require changes to existing network infrastructure. The novelty of the proposed approach is that mobility management is fully controlled by the terminal, and network selection is user-centric, power-saving, cost-aware, and performance-aware. Total mobility management, including interface management, handover decision, and execution, is also detailed

A Survey of Mobility Management in Hybrid Wireless Mesh Networks

Mobility management is vital for realizing large-scale wireless mesh networks to provide cost-effective broadband Internet access. Although a considerable amount of research on mobility management for cellular, Mobile IP, and mobile ad hoc networks has been proposed, mobility management for IP-based hybrid WMNs, including the mobility support from both the network and link layers, remains largely unexplored. Traditional mobility management mechanisms, when applied to hybrid WMNs, may cause significant performance degradation because of the overlooking of key features of WMNs. Challenges arising from multihop wireless communications require the design of new mobility management techniques in WMNs. In this article, mobility management in IP-based hybrid WMNs is investigated. The motivation for mobility management in WMNs is explained, and the existing work is surveyed. To address the new challenges, various open design issues also are presented.

基于MPLS的移动IP网络的移动性支持：平滑切换与路由优化

为了减小基于MPLS的移动IP网络的信令开销、切换时延和切换丢包,人们提出了一种称为LSP扩展的移动性管理机制。LSP扩展存在两个问题：一是扩展的LSP可能存在环路;二是需要定义中止LSP扩展的准则。针对上述问题,该文首先给出了LSP扩展的环路消除技术,然后定义了中止扩展LSP的准则,即用户信息和信令信息代价函数;并理论分析了用户信息和信令信息代价函数的计算过程,讨论了如何通过该代价函数中止扩展LSP。性能分析结果表明,根据该准则中止扩展LSP能在较大程度上减小LSP扩展机制的开销。     

Fuzzy Rule-Based Mobility and Load Management for Self-Organizing Wireless Networks

Mobility management in a cluster-based, multihop ad hoc network is studied. It is shown that the process of clustering the network into groups of stations has similarities to data analysis, in particular, pattern recognition. In data analysis, the term clustering refers to the process of unsupervised learning, which also describes the situation in a mobile ad hoc network.In this paper, existing data-clustering algorithms are first classified into different categories. Some of the most important types of algorithms are afterwards described, and their applicability to the problem of mobility management in an ad hoc network is studied. It is shown that most of the pattern-recognition algorithms are not suited to the application under consideration.This is why we have developed a new clustering scheme that incorporates some of the ideas of the data classification schemes. The new clustering scheme is based on a rule-based fuzzy inference engine. The main idea consists of the consideration of dynamic clustering events chosen as a consequence of the fuzzy rules. Four types of clustering events are considered.The performance of the clustering algorithm has been evaluated by computer simulation.     

A Novel Vehicular Mobility Model for Wireless Networks

In this paper a novel realistic vehicular mobility model is introduced. It captures the moving-in-groups, conscious traveling, and introduces the concept of smart traveling while following drivers’ social behavior extracted from inquiries and experimental traffic measurements. Under the model, a routing algorithm is considered. The routing algorithm minimizes the distance to a target on a step by step form, in every street crossing. This is done under a hierarchic street level structure that optimizes travel speed and quality. The mobility model was simulated and validated in a real mobility scenario using, as case study, the city of Lisbon. The correlation values (between simulated data and theoretical distributions), arrival to destination success rate and directional statistics produced satisfactory results. The model concept is perfectly generic and applicable to other locations, provided that the corresponding street database and vehicular traffic information are available. The model outputs several parameters, including sinuosity indicator and traffic load. The sinuosity indicator is a powerful parameter on the characterization of urban radio environments when mobility is used in wireless networks simulation. Vehicular traffic load analysis is also presented. It can be used in further work over wireless traffic modeling, on a street segment basis or on a AU (Analysis Unit) perspective.

A Generic Framework for Mobility Modeling and Performance Analysis in Next-Generation Heterogeneous Wireless Networks

Integration of different wireless radio cellular technologies is emerging as an effective approach to accommodate the increasing demand of next-generation multimedia-based applications. In such systems user roaming among different technologies, commonly known as vertical handoff, will significantly affect different aspects of network design and planning due to the characteristically wide-ranging diversity in access technologies and supported applications. Hence, the development of new mobility models that accurately depict vertical mobility is crucial for studying different design problems in these heterogeneous systems. This article presents a generic framework for mobility modeling and performance analysis of integrated heterogeneous networks using phase-type distributions. This framework realizes all modeling requirements in next-generation user mobility including accuracy, analytical tractability, and accommodating the correlation between different residence times within different access technologies. Additionally, we present general guidelines to evaluate application performance based on the new mobility models introduced in this article. We show the accuracy of our modeling approach through simulation and analysis given different applications.

Improved Resource Management through User Aggregation in Heterogeneous Multiple Access Wireless Networks

In this letter we discuss the exploitation of aggregated mobility patterns in mobile networks including heterogeneous multiple access techniques. We advocate the use of knowledge about neighboring devices to create routing groups (RGs) of adjacent nodes in order to optimize radio resource management. Basically, RGs consist of aggregated logical structures which are built and maintained at the application layer. Their use allows decreased signaling overhead between groups of nodes and access points (AP) and, at the same time, improved connectivity, which is achieved through the exploitation of technology diversity and relaying schemes. We illustrate a simple yet effective analytical model, and validate it through accurate simulation results. Finally, we show the effectiveness of the RG approach in terms of resource efficiency, throughput and multiple access performance.     

Handling Mobility in Wireless Sensor and Actor Networks

In Wireless Sensor and Actor Networks (WSANs), the collaborative operation of sensors enables the distributed sensing of a physical phenomenon, while actors collect and process sensor data and perform appropriate actions. WSANs can be thought of as a distributed control system that needs to timely react to sensor information with an effective action. In this paper, coordination and communication problems in WSANs with mobile actors are studied. First, a new location management scheme is proposed to handle the mobility of actors with minimal energy expenditure for the sensors, based on a hybrid strategy that includes location updating and location prediction. Actors broadcast location updates limiting their scope based on Voronoi diagrams, while sensors predict the movement of actors based on Kalman filtering of previously received updates. The location management scheme enables efficient geographical routing, and based on this, an optimal energy-aware forwarding rule is derived for sensor-actor communication. Consequently, algorithms are proposed that allow controlling the delay of the data-delivery process based on power control, and deal with network congestion by forcing multiple actors to be recipients for traffic generated in the event area. Finally, a model is proposed to optimally assign tasks to actors and control their motion in a coordinated way to accomplish the tasks based on the characteristics of the events. Performance evaluation shows the effectiveness of the proposed solution.     

A Noncooperative Game-Theoretic Framework for Radio Resource Management in 4G Heterogeneous Wireless Access Networks

Fourth generation (4G) wireless networks will provide high-bandwidth connectivity with quality-of-service (QoS) support to mobile users in a seamless manner. In such a scenario, a mobile user will be able to connect to different wireless access networks such as a wireless metropolitan area network (WMAN), a cellular network, and a wireless local area network (WLAN) simultaneously. We present a game-theoretic framework for radio resource management (that is, bandwidth allocation and admission control) in such a heterogeneous wireless access environment. First, a noncooperative game is used to obtain the bandwidth allocations to a service area from the different access networks available in that service area (on a long-term basis). The Nash equilibrium for this game gives the optimal allocation which maximizes the utilities of all the connections in the network (that is, in all of the service areas). Second, based on the obtained bandwidth allocation, to prioritize vertical and horizontal handoff connections over new connections, a bargaining game is formulated to obtain the capacity reservation thresholds so that the connection-level QoS requirements can be satisfied for the different types of connections (on a long-term basis). Third, we formulate a noncooperative game to obtain the amount of bandwidth allocated to an arriving connection (in a service area) by the different access networks (on a short-term basis). Based on the allocated bandwidth and the capacity reservation thresholds, an admission control is used to limit the number of ongoing connections so that the QoS performances are maintained at the target level for the different types of connections.
