Fuzzy logic based route optimization in a multihomed mobile networks

Abstract

The present work is a fuzzy logic based route optimization in multihomed mobile network. The mobile routers in the mobile network use best egress determination algorithm to identify its best egress interface for each service type supported by the mobile network dynamically and send the best egress interface per service type information to a local fixed node inside the mobile network. The mobile network node sends a request message to the local fixed node inside the mobile network to initiate a session. The local fixed node uses best route selection algorithm to select an optimal route from mobile network to Internet for the desired service type of the mobile network node. The performance of the proposed work is evaluated using NEMO_SIM simulator which is implemented using JAVA. Results based on a detailed performance evaluation study are also presented to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed scheme.

Multihoming Support in Mobile IP Networks: Progress, Challenges and Solutions

“…The researchers in [27] and [28] presented a network performance based selection algorithm with a per-flow traffic control. It addresses a comprehensive multihoming solution to take into consideration various metrics including bandwidth, delay, packet loss, and path cost for understanding the performance of each path in the network.…”
