Performance analysis of DNS-assisted global mobility management scheme in cost-optimized proxy mobile IPv6 Networks

Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) is designed to provide a network-based localized mobility management protocol, but it does not handle the global mobility of hosts. In this paper, we propose a location management scheme based on Domain Name System (DNS) for PMIPv6. In this proposed scheme, DNS as a location manager provides PMIPv6 for global mobility. In addition, a paging extension scheme is introduced to PMIPv6 in order to support large numbers of mobile terminals and enhance network scalability. To evaluate the proposed location management scheme, we establish an analytical model, also formulate the location update and the paging cost, and analyse the influence of the different factors on the total signalling cost. The performance results show how the total signal cost changes under various parameters.     

Location management in mobile network: A survey

Location management is an important area of mobile computing. Location management in mobile network deals with location registration and tracking of mobile terminals. The location registration process is called location update and the searching process is called paging. Various types of location management methods exist such as mobility based location management, data replication based location management, signal attenuation based location tracking, time, zone and distance based location update etc. In this paper, existing location management schemes are discussed and compared with respect to their cost consumption in terms of bytes. Finally the key issues are addressed in the context of location management for future generation mobile network.     

Mobility information for resource management in wireless ATM networks

User mobility poses a significant technical challenge to network resource management in wireless ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) networks. In order to guarantee quality of service (QoS) to mobile users and to achieve a high efficiency in network resource management, the information of mobile users' handoff at a future moment is essential for statistical multiplexing. This paper develops a novel fuzzy logic inference system to estimate the user mobility information for a wireless ATM network which uses a direct sequence code division multiple access (DS/CDMA) protocol. The estimation is based on measured pilot signal strengths from a number of the nearest base stations by the mobile user. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the performance of the proposed technique under various path losses and channel shadowing conditions. The proposed technique can achieve simplicity, accuracy and low cost.

The MainStreetXpress 36190: a scalable and highly reliable ATM core services switch

This paper describes the architecture and some of the main features of the MainStreetXpress 36190 ATM core services switch. This switch has been designed from the start as a fully functional, central office class ATM switch which can be used already today to create the backbone layer for commercial ATM-based multi-service networks. Due to its modular hardware and software architecture, it provides the required flexibility with respect to interface requirements, signalling/control capabilities and service support. The architecture together with the ATM chip set specifically developed for this switch allows to extend the data throughput of the MainStreetXpress 36190 from 5 Gbit/s into the Tbit/s range by just scaling the central switch fabric. The call processing capability can be scaled well into the MBHCA range (Million Busy Hour Call Attempts) by taking advantage of the specifically developed multi-processor control platform. Full redundancy for all central hardware components and optional redundancy for interface boards and external transmission lines is provided. In combination with a comprehensive hardware/software maintenance and recovery concept based on the vast experience with the EWSD line of digital switches these capabilities provide the reliability and availability required for large ATM carrier networks. Together with the full line of MainStreetXpress components – ranging from network terminations and LAN service units via flexible access multiplexers/switches to scalable ATM multi-service switches and a variety of specific server types all controlled by a common network and service management – the MainStreetXpress 36190 provides carriers with the means to realize fully functional, cost effective ATM based multi-service platforms already today.

Efficient hierarchical QoS routing in ATM networks

For reducing network information to achieve scalability in large ATM networks, ATM Private Network-to-Network Interface (PNNI) adopts hierarchical routing. Consequently, although routing complexity is significantly reduced, numerous issues in PNNI routing require further study to achieve more efficient, accurate, scalable, and QoS-aware routing.Several methods are adopted herein to achieve efficient, scalable, and QoS-aware ATM PNNI routing. First, an efficient aggregation scheme, referred to as Asymmetric Simple, is proposed. The aggregated routing information includes available bandwidth, delay and cost. Second, two approaches for defining link costs are investigated, namely, the Markov Decision Process (MDP) approach and the Competitive On-Line (COL) routing approach, and these are compared with the Widest Path (WP) approach. Finally, a dynamic update policy, referred to as the dynamic cost-based update (DCU) policy, is proposed to improve the accuracy of the aggregated information and the performance of hierarchical routing, while decreasing the frequency of re-aggregation and information distribution.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed Asymmetric Simple aggregation scheme yields very good network utilization while significantly reducing the amount of advertised information. Between these two link cost functions, the MDP approach provides a systematic method of defining call admission function and yields better network utilization than the COL approach. The proposed DCU policy also yields an enhanced network utilization while significantly reducing the frequency of re-aggregation and the amount of distributed aggregation information.     

Mobility label based network: Mobility support in label switched networks with multi-protocol BGP

To support mobility the network control plane is required to detect changes in the mobile node’s location and distribute the new location information throughout the network thus enabling the forwarding plane to deliver traffic in an optimal manner. The network responsiveness to the mobile node movements can be generally thought of as the time elapsed between the moment the node’s location in the network has changed and the moment the reception of packets in the new location has resumed. This paper outlines an approach to handling the user mobility at the network layer in the context of multi-protocol label switched networks (MPLS). This new approach does not rely on the existing IP mobility management protocols such as Mobile IP and is instead based on the combination of multi-protocol BGP (MP-BGP) and MPLS. This paper proposes to introduce new protocol elements to MP-BGP to achieve mobility label distribution at the network control plane and the optimal packet delivery to the mobile node by the network forwarding plane using MPLS regardless of the IP protocol addressing and the associated logical network topology.

Mobility management and control in intelligent wireless ATM networks

This paper shows how the Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) signaling and the Intelligent Network (IN) concept can be exploited to support mobility in an ATM-based network with wireless access parts and mobile users. The proposed architecture exploits the enhanced service control processing features offered by the IN technology to support location management. The access signaling protocol structure is based on the principles of separation between call and bearer channel control, employed in fixed broadband access networks. The design objective is to minimize the changes required to the wired network signaling, by taking advantage of the well-developed capability sets. This allows the easy introduction of the wireless ATM technology (W-ATM) into the real world. It is shown that the proposed signaling protocol model provides cost-effective implementations without degrading the agreed Quality of Service (QoS) and the system's performance. A comparative signaling performance evaluation is carried-out to demonstrate the impact of the proposed signaling protocol architecture onto various performance measures and to quantify the relative gains. The obtained results can be used for network design purposes in a large-scale private installation supporting many users. The signaling protocol architecture aims for private W-ATM networks, but can be readily extended to fulfill the signaling requirements of public environment broadband wireless systems.

An efficient metric-based (EM-B) location management scheme for wireless cellular networks

In the current era, the wireless cellular network is gaining much attention in the network mobility for qualitative service. Towards enhancing the QoS and narrowing the dilemma of network management (location management) an efficient metric-based location management technique is introduced in this paper to capture the current location of mobile subscribers. The attributes of this technique are based on metrics calculation and location management message routing path determination. First, the current mobile switching center will calculate the shortest metric-based path between current and master (previous) location of mobile terminals (user), thereafter it performs the location management procedure through the optimal suggested path by the mobile switching center. This proposed technique will reduce the signaling cost, registration delay, call setup delay, network overheads and total location management cost. The proposed analytical model checks the scalability and effectiveness of proposed system over certain attributes and a comparison is made with the existing available techniques.
