一种新的移动IPv6移动性管理策略

在IETF制定的移动IPv6移动性管理策略中,当移动主机每次从一个子网移动到另一个子网时,都需要对家乡代理和相应的通信主机进行绑定更新,这就导致网络总的绑定和发送代价过高.本文提出了一种新的移动性管理策略,在利用现有网络结构的基础上,通过将移动主机的移动分为本地移动和家乡移动两种类型,来减少移动主机向家乡代理和相应的通信主机发送绑定更新消息,从而降低网络的绑定代价,使网络的性能得到改善.     

Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 Mobility Management in Heterogeneous 3G/WLAN Networks

The research and development of next generation networks results in continuously growing in heterogeneity of wireless systems. Those systems also offer users the increasing possibility of roaming between different networks, which undoubtedly needs seamless integration. As mobile users continue to expand their requirements for seamless roaming, a good handoff mechanism is necessary especially for cellular networks and wireless local area networks. The most critical problem faced in the handoff mechanism is that users may need immediate data transmission. However, immediate data transmission is always obstructed because handoff latency occurs. In this paper, we propose a Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 handoff scheme using active measurement-foreign mobility agent to measure the residual bandwidth of each access point (AP) for handoff decision. As a result, the proposed scheme prevents whole efficiency from being affected by the registration time and improves immediate data transmission. In addition, a dual-threshold of the received signal strength is used to avoid the ping-pong effect. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme outperforms the traditional Mobile IPv6 and enhanced multilayer Hierarchical Mobile IPv6.     

一个基于IPv6移动管理结构的研究

移动IPv6被认为是实现固定和移动网络结合的关键技术,它可以实现固定和移动网络的无缝连接。在移动网络中,要求数据能被快速移交,但是这个核心功能在早期的移动IPv6的版本不能得到支持。这是由于移动节点的移动性能的管理受制于家乡代理和通信伙伴节点,而且后两者往往远离移动节点。为了克服这个问题,IETF提出了分级处理的办法,但这些方法是牺牲路由优化来获取数据的快速移交。本文提出一种新的基于分级处理的移动管理结构,它可以实现在不牺牲路由的前提下,加快数据信息的快速移交。     

A Comprehensive Framework for Evaluating IPv6 Based Mobility Management Protocols

Seamless mobility in future generation networks, which are envisioned to be heterogeneous in nature, is an important issue. While Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) work groups have standardized various mobility management protocols, such as Mobile IPv6 and Proxy Mobile IPv6, a comprehensive study of these protocols in terms of various performance characteristics is a challenging issue. Moreover, this study also considers the recent proposals from IETF in distributed mobility management (DMM) protocols. In this paper, a novel analytical model is developed for comparison of various mobility management protocols in terms of handover latency, as well as packet density, and packet arrival rate during the handover time by applying transport engineering principles in the field of telecommunication. The signaling cost analysis using signaling overhead incurred during protocol operations is given for each of these protocols. The number of packets that can be lost during the handover operation is also obtained using this model. Moreover, it presents a unified framework using which one can assess the performance characteristics of both host based and network based mobile IP protocols. One can also assess the performance of centralized and DMM approaches. The correctness of the proposed model is established by the fact that it leads to results similar to those obtained by applying some of the existing models. At the same time, the model allows one to obtain additional results showing the effect of packet density and packet arrival rate on the handover latency.     

Analysis of Fast Handover Mechanisms for Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 Network Mobility

When a mobile network dynamically changes its point of attachment to the Internet, the various types of movements by a mobile router require handovers, and network mobility (NEMO) is concerned with the management of this movement of mobile networks. Accordingly, this paper investigates the mobile router movement patterns in NEMO network environments, and defines fast hierarchical NEMO handover scenarios based on classified movement patterns. Due to unexpected link breakdowns during the handover procedure, the NEMO handover requires additional latency and packet delivery costs depending on when the breaks occur. For the various handover failure cases, it is also essential to analyze these overhead costs to evaluate and compare the performance of a fast handover. In this paper, the overheads associated with a NEMO fast handover include the latency, buffering cost, and packet loss cost, all of which are formulated based on a timing diagram.

SMS-MIPv6: An End-to-End Mechanism for IPv6 Mobility Management in Mobile Networks

As IP has been extended from core networks to access networks, a mobile network can be considered as an overlay of a traditional cellular network and an IP network. SMS-MIPv6 attempts to integrate mobility management of these two kinds of networks. The basic idea behind SMS-MIPv6 is to exploit existing mobility management in the cellular network (i.e. in the form of well-defined short messages) to locate a Mobile Terminal (MT) in the IPv6 network. We should emphasize that the motivation of SMS-MIPv6 is not to replace or optimize existing mature mobility management schemes. On the contrary, as an entirely end-to-end mechanism for IPv6 mobility management, it provides an alternative mechanism for free peer-to-peer applications such as Voice over IP (VoIP) without support from mobile network operators. We describe the implementation of SMS-MIPv6 in detail and analyze its performance. The evaluation results show that SMS-MIPv6 achieves acceptable performance so that it can be deployed in most current mobile networks. It performs best in terms of signaling cost, data traffic overhead compared with Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) and Proxy MIPv6 (PMIPv6). Moreover, SMS-MIPv6 can reduce the handover latency significantly, although it is considered as a mobility management scheme for global mobility. However, it increases the session initialization latency due to hybrid binding through the cellular network.

A Proxy Mobile IPv6 Based Global Mobility Management Architecture and Protocol

This paper specifies a global mobility management architecture and protocol procedure called GPMIP, which is based on Proxy Mobile IPv6. In GPMIP, mobility management is performed by the network entity rather than individual mobile nodes. The benefit is the elimination of the wireless link data delivery tunnel overhead between a mobile node and the access router. To compare with the well known Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 mobility management protocol, the location update, packet delivery, and total cost functions generated by a mobile node during its average domain residence time are formulated for each protocol based on fluid flow mobility model. Then, the impacts of various system parameters on the cost functions are analyzed. The analytical results indicate that the proposed global mobility management protocol can guarantee lower total costs. Furthermore, a qualitative comparison between GPMIP and some other global management protocols is also investigated.

DMAP-FR: Dynamic Mobility Anchor Points for Mobility,Service and Failure Recovery Management in Mobile IPv6 Systems

In this paper, we propose and analyze DMAP-FR, a mobility and service management scheme with failure recovery (FR) control in Mobile IPv6 systems. The basic idea behind DMAP-FR is to leverage access routers (ARs) running as regional mobility anchor points (MAPs) as in Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 (HMIPv6) for mobility and service management for mobile nodes (MNs). However, unlike HMIPv6, DMAP-FR allows the MAP of each MN to be determined dynamically based on the mobility and service characteristics of the MN and the failure behavior of ARs with the goal to minimize the network traffic. DMAP-FR incorporates fault tolerance mechanisms to allow the system to quickly recover from AR and MAP failures. We identify the best dynamic regional area size for the selection of MAP for each MN such that the overall network traffic due to servicing mobility, service and fault tolerance related operations is minimized. We demonstrate that DMAP-FR outperforms HMIPv6 for the same AR failure rate.     

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.     

Performance Evaluation of Mobility Anchor Point with Guard Load Reservation in Hierarchical Mobile IPv6

Hierarchical mobile IPv6(HMIPv6)introduces a mobility anchor point to reduce the signaling overhead and handoff latency. In this paper, we apply the matrix-analytical approach to explore the performance measures of the ongoing mobile nodes(MNs) drop and new MNs block probabilities of mobility anchor point with a guard bandwidth reservation scheme. We apply the Markovian arrival process(MAP)to model ongoing MNs and new MNs. Five related performance measures are derived, including the long-term new MN block and ongoing MN drop probabilities, and the three short-term measures of average length of a block period and a non-block period,as well as the conditional ongoing MN drop probability during a block period. These performance measures greatly assist the guard bandwidth reservation mechanism in determining a proper threshold guard bandwidth. The results presented in this paper can provide guidelines for designing adaptive algorithms to adjust the threshold in the guard bandwidth reservation scheme.     

Policy Based Mobility &; Flow Management for IPv6 Heterogeneous Wireless Networks

We propose a dynamic mobility management framework for Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) and policy enforcement enabled heterogenous wireless networks. Policies and policy rules are defined depending on network infrastructure facilities, service agreements and negotiation results. Each traffic is coupled with an identifiable traffic flow while the heterogenous interface flow bindings are regulated by polices. The network selection, flow distribution, handovers and mobility procedures are flexible and we propose to improve the decision making via Multiple Attributes Decision Making (MADM). Techniques considered in the framework include the IPv6 based Network Mobility (NEMO), multihoming capability, transparent vertical handovers, horizontal handovers and dynamic policy enforcement matching process to improve the Quality of Service (QoS), Quality of Experience (QoE) and ubiquitous connectivity. A experiment testbed and simulation models have been constructed to verify the mobility framework performance in a heterogeneous WiFi, WiMax and UMTS hybrid environment.     

Smart Routers for Cross-Layer Integrated Mobility and Service Management in Mobile IPv6 Systems

We propose and analyze a cross-layer integrated mobility and service management scheme called DMAPwSR in Mobile IPv6 environments with the goal to minimize the overall mobility and service management cost for serving mobile users with diverse mobility and service characteristics. The basic idea of DMAPwSR is that each mobile node (MN) can utilize its cross-layer knowledge to choose smart routers to be its dynamic mobility anchor points (DMAPs) to balance the cost associated with mobility services versus packet delivery services. These smart routers are just access routers for MIPv6 systems except that they are capable of processing binding messages from the MN and storing the current location of the MN in the routing table for forwarding service packets destined to the MN. The MN’s DMAP changes dynamically as the MN roams across the MIPv6 network. Furthermore the DMAP service area also changes dynamically reflecting the MN’s mobility and service behaviors dynamically. Unlike previous mobility management protocols such as HMIPv6 that focus only on mobility management, DMAPwSR considers integrated mobility and service management. We develop an analytical model based on stochastic Petri nets to analyze DMAPwSR and compare its performance against MIPv6 and HMIPv6. We validate analytical solutions obtained through extensive simulation including sensitivity analysis of simulation results with respect to the network coverage model, the MN’s residence time distribution and the DMAP service area definition.     

A comparative performance analysis on Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 and Proxy Mobile IPv6

This paper presents comparative results on Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 and Proxy Mobile IPv6. The two mobility support protocols have similar hierarchical mobility management architectures but there are, however, clearly different perceptions: Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 has specific properties of a host-based mobility support protocol, whereas Proxy Mobile IPv6 is based on a network-based mobility support protocol. Thus, it is important to reveal their mobility characteristics and performance impact factors. In this paper, a cost based evaluation model is developed that evaluates the location update cost, the packet delivery cost, and the wireless power consumption cost based on the protocol operations used. Then, the numerical results are presented in where impacts of the various system parameters are evaluated. The results demonstrate that Proxy Mobile IPv6 always outperforms Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 due to its ability to avoid the mobility signaling sent by the mobile host, and its reduced tunneling overhead during communications with other nodes.

层次移动IPv6的增强切换方案

随着互联网技术与移动通信技术飞速发展,移动IPv6技术已经成为下一代移动互联网的研究热点。切换技术是影响移动互联网实时运行质量的重要技术之一。低延迟、低丢包的无缝切换方案对移动IPv6的性能至关重要。层次移动IPv6(HMIPv6)利用移动锚点(MAP)降低了延迟和数据丢失。然而,只有移动节点在同一MAP域的网络上进行切换时,HMIPv6才能有效减少延迟。当移动节点在不同MAP域的网络移动时,其切换性能并不优于标准移动IPv6。文章针对层次移动IPv6提出了一种增强切换方案(EHMIPv6),该方案在HMIPv6的基础上实现并行重复地址检测(PDAD),以减少不同区域网络间切换的延迟。分析表明,该方案比HMIPv6具有更好的性能。
