Introduction• Mobile IPv6– well-known mature standard for IPv6 host-based mobility– handover latency, packet loss and signaling overhead– the MIPv6 requires protocol stack modification
• Proxy Mobile IPv6– network-based mobility management support to an MN
in a topologically localized domain– allows the serving network to control the mobility management on
behalf of an MN• eliminating the MN from any mobility-related signaling
– still suffer from handover latency and packet loss during a handover

• limitations– Each MAG needs to have a tuple that contains the BS-IDs and IP
addresses for all the MAGs – packet ordering problem after a handover
• occurs between the packets buffered at the pMAG and the packets from the LMA after registration.
– The MN should provide information about the target network to pMAG through L2 signaling

The Proposed Seamless Handover Scheme

• The advantages of the proposed handover scheme– reduces the handover latency
• circumventing authentication and reducing the default router reconfiguration delay – avoid the on-the-fly packet loss during a handover
• packet buffering– ensures the packet sequence during a handover
• an additional packet buffering at the LMA– the MN is not required to provide any information about the target network to the
pMAG• Overheads
– Each MAG needs to maintain a database including its attached MN information, such as MN_HNP, MN_IP and LMAA.
– sending ND messages to the neighbor MAGs causes additional traffic. – The packet buffering at the MAG and the LMA incurs an overhead.
• Nonetheless, the proposed scheme can reduce the handover latency, and avoid the on-the-fly packet loss while ensuring the packet sequence

Introduction • There is currently great interest in NEMO, especially from the side of the
aeronautical and Car2Car communications community – that have a great need for network mobility solutions.
• the lack of Route Optimization in the NEMO Basic support protocol has proved to be a major obstacle for its deployment.– The NEMO Basic Support protocol [12] extends MIPv6 from a Mobile Host (MH)
to support Mobile Routers (MR)
• Mobility management has been partitioned into four independent parts of two dimensions – local vs. global mobility and – host vs. router mobility.
• MIP and NEMO are addressing global mobility for both hosts and routers • whereas PMIPv6 provides local mobility for hosts only (as of now)

Global HA to HA protocol• 3GPP TR 24.801 v0.9.0, “3rd Generation Partnership Project; Technical
Specification Group Core Network and Terminals; 3GPP System Architecture Evolution; CT WG1 Aspects (Release 8)”, May 2008.
• Provide some extent of route optimization support for NEMO-bs
• relies on a distributed HA architecture – that allows the MR to bind with its topologically closest HA
• supported by the Dynamic Home Agent Address Discovery (DHAAD) procedure – defined in MIPv6 using IPv6 anycast addressing
17
Scenario of proxy-LMA protocol
roaming agreement
18
• consist of more than one LMA and associated MAGs• allows MRs to bind to the closest LMA instead to the
original one at the home link– serve as a proxy HA and – accepts traffic originating from and destined to the MR– nearly optimal routing is achieved
• In a non-PMIP access network, the MR will have to make use of its NEMO functionality to achieve network mobility.
