SIP-PMIP Cross-Layer Mobility Management Scheme

Abstract

Heterogeneous networks have attracted a lot of interest due to its support provision for a large number of networks at an effective cost. Mobility Management also plays an important role in the heterogeneous network in providing a seamless mobility support for both devices and users, which poses a serious challenge. In this chapter, the researchers propose SIP-PMIP Cross-Layer Mobility Management in order to provide a seamless mobility in heterogeneous wireless networks. In effect, the researchers design a Cross-Layer Mobility Management Scheme, which can handle terminal, network, personal and session mobility. To demonstrate, video conferencing is included in the modeling, simulation and implementation of the module using Riverbed Modeler.
