“…Nowadays, most of the deployed architectures, such as 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project) networks, have a small number of centralized anchors managing the traffic of thousands of mobile users, but these centralized approaches have certain problems [8]. The evolution towards DMM approaches has shown improvements in better use of network resources [11,12,13,14,15]. Additionally, future mobile networks will be driven by software, relying on emerging technologies such as SDN [16,17,18].…”

The number of mobile subscribers, as well as the data traffic generated by them, is increasing exponentially with the growth of wireless smart devices and the number of network services that they can support. This significant growth is pushing mobile network operators towards new solutions to improve their network performance and efficiency. Thus, the appearance of Software Defined Networking (SDN) can overcome the limitations of current deployments through decoupling the network control plane from the data plane, allowing higher flexibility and programmability to the network. In this context, the process of handling user mobility becomes an essential part of future mobile networks. Taking advantage of the benefits that SDN brings, in this article we present a novel mobility management solution. This proposal avoids the use of IP-IP tunnels and it adds the dynamic flow management capability provided by SDN. In order to analyse performance, an analytical model is developed to compare it with NB-DMM (Network-based DMM), one of the main DMM (Distributed Mobility Management) solutions. Additionally, performance is also evaluated with an experimental testbed. The results allow handover latency in real scenarios and numerical investigations to be measured, and also show that SR-DMM achieves better efficiency in terms of signaling and routing cost than NB-DMM solution.

“…Under the FMIPv6 framework, the next access point is predetermined by the bottom layer to reduce the handover delay. However, some interactive signaling messages between the access router and the new access router are introduced [15]. The HMIPv6 protocol introduces a proxy hierarchy mechanism, which adds a Mobile Anchor Point (MAP) to the network to handle local handover.…”

Virtual Agent Clustering Based Mobility Management Over the Satellite Networks

Due to the high dynamic characteristics of the low-orbit satellite networks, the frequent handovers of the users led to heavy mobility management load and large handover delay. To solve these problems, one mobility management mechanism based on the virtual agent domain (VAD) is proposed. In this mechanism, a virtual agent cluster (VAC) is designed to co-manage the network architecture of users in the corresponding VAD. With the on-board processing and switching capabilities, the architecture of the distributed mobility management mechanism is adopted to support the information sharing between the VACs, which reduces the performance requirements for single satellite and improves the system scalability. Then, we construct the home mobile-agent-anchor (HMAA) and the local MAA. In this way, the MN triggers a binding update to the HA only when the home MAA is lost, and the MN's switching within the VAD only needs to update its intra-domain relations, which reduces the overhead of mobility management and switching delay. Furthermore, the proposed scheme is theoretically evaluated in terms of the signaling overhead and handover latency. Finally, the numerical simulation results are presented to verify the efficacy of our scheme. The experimental platform also demonstrates the availability and efficiency of the new mechanism.INDEX TERMS Low-orbit satellite network, mobility management protocol, virtual agent domain, information sharing, home mobile agent anchor, simulation platform.

“…There are also distinct ways to support flow mobility [33]; there are solutions that in part permit the mobility of users flows either supported by the host [7], [8], [13] or by the network [9], [10], [16]. There is also one network based solution [11], [12] that proposes the concept of packet mobility and the introduction of network coding.…”

The exponential growth of the number of multihomed mobile devices is changing the way how we can connect to the Internet. Our mobile devices are demanding for more network resources, in terms of traffic volume and QoS requirements. Unfortunately, it is very hard to a multihomed device to be simultaneously connected to the network through multiple links. The current work enhances the network access of multihomed devices agnostically to the deployed access technologies. This enhancement is achieved by using simultaneously all of the mobile devices interfaces, and by routing each individual data flow through the most convenient access technology. The proposed solution is only deployed at the network side and it extends Proxy Mobile IPv6 with flow mobility in a completely transparent way to mobile nodes. In fact, it gives particular attention to the handover mechanisms, by improving the detection and attachment of nodes in the network, with the inclusion of the IEEE 802.21 standard in the solution. This provides the necessary implementation and integration details to extend a network topology with femtocell devices. Each femtocell is equipped with various network interfaces supporting a diverse set of access technologies. There is also a decision entity that manages individually each data flow according to its QoS / QoE requisites. The proposed solution has been developed and extensively tested with a real prototype. Evaluation results evidence that the overhead for using the solution is negligible as compared to the offered advantages such as: the support of flow mobility, the fulfil of VoIP functional requisites, the session continuity in spite of flows mobility, its low overhead, its high scalability, and the complete transparency of the proposed solution to the user terminals.
