An ILNP-based solution for future heterogeneous wireless networks

Abstract-Mobile IPv6 is the mobility protocol of the IPv6 protocol. The mobility feature in IPv6 is supposed to be default, but still there are obstacles carrying out deployment. Great needs for this new Internet Protocol are security, scalability, efficiency and the lack of IPv4 addresses. Deployment of this long needed new protocol has been delayed partly due to the route optimization problem of mobile nodes. Route optimization is the property of sending data via the shortest route, even when the mobile node is roaming, thereby making packet sending between a mobile node and a corresponding node through the mobile node’s home network for further redirection obsolete. Any other nodes communicating with a mobile node are referred to as corresponding nodes. Routing packets over the shortest route will both decrease the latency of data transmission and bandwidth consumption. In this paper, we suggest a new location management protocol for Mobile IPv6, which we will show as a more effi...

Cellular networking standards organizations such as the 3 rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) are currently developing System Architecture Evolution (SAE) as their core network architecture. SAE is all-IP based. However, IP-based networks face several known issues, such as mobility, multihoming, location privacy, path preference, etc. Mobile IP (MIP) and its variants, such as Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6), Hierarchical MIP, and Proxy MIP, have been developed primarily to alleviate the mobility problem. These variation and extensions, however, still do not provide many of the features required in Next Generation Wireless Networks (NGWN). The limitations are especially due to the overloading of IP addresses as both node identity and locator. In this paper, we propose an extension to MIPv6 called Virtual ID. This concept applies the ID/Locator split idea into a Mobile IPv6 environment. Virtual ID and its extensions provide many features that would be desired in the NGWN. Since our proposed scheme is based on the standard MIPv6 and Proxy MIPv6, the scheme is fully compatible with the legacy MIPv6.

The management techniques employed for Fast Mobile Internet Protocol version 6 (FMIPv6) and Media Independent Handover services between different wireless technologies are very important for completing the handover operations with the least possible delay. In the FMIPv6 technique, when a mobile node (MN) moves to another network, it needs to perform vertical handover (VHO) operations. These operations have a severe impact on the handover latency. In this article, we propose an enhanced network layer mechanism that is used to support fast handover for VHO. We introduce a new idea for the access router discovery method and propose a rapid VHO algorithm accordingly. Our proposal of a rapid VHO algorithm, a previous access router (pAR), rapidly provides a unique Ipv6 address instead of a new access router (nAR) for MNs. The binding updates to both the home agent and the correspondent node are performed from the pAR. We can observe from the results that by optimizing the network layer, the rapid VHO algorithm rapidly presents unique Ipv6 addresses for MNs with a minimum handover latency and packet loss even at high-speed movements. Finally, we presented an analytical model which shows that by enabling the access router discovery method and enhancing the network layer mechanism, an MN can perform fast handover processes with low handover latency compared with the FMIPv6 technique.

However, it suffers from the problem of long hand off. The process of changing a Mobile Node's point of attachment or its relocation from one network to another is called the handover. In the upcoming mobile network technologies, when the MN usually changes its point of attachment to the Internet, the handover performance requires the needed improvement, especially the latency. Many solutions have been proposed to reduce the handoff delay of Mobile IP. In this paper we propose to add further utility on mobile node.

Internet architecture is facing at least three major challenges. First, it is running out of IPv4 addresses. IPv6 offers a long-term solution to the problem by offering a vast amount of addresses but is neither supported widely by networking software nor has been deployed widely in different networks. Second, end-to-end connectivity is broken by the introduction of NATs, originally invented to circumvent the address depletion. Third, the Internet architecture lacks a mechanism that supports endhost mobility and multihoming in a coherent way between IPv4 and IPv6 networks.

Third, the Internet architecture lacks a mechanism that supports end-host mobility and multihoming in a coherent way between IPv4 and IPv6 networks. We argue that an identifier-locator split can solve these three problems based on our experimentation with the Host Identity Protocol. The split separates upper layer identifiers from lower network layer identifiers, thus enabling network-location and IP- version independent applications. Our contribution consists of recommendations to the present HIP standards to utilize cross-family mobility more efficiently...

The evolution of Internet and its hosts does not match anymore the current Internet architecture, designed when mobility, multihoming and security were not considered, and based on IP addresses with the double role of host's identity and host's topological location. In this paper we propose a secure global and localized mobility management scheme suitable for multihomed Mobile Nodes (MNs) and based on Host Identity Protocol (HIP) and Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6). It merges the new identifier/locator split architecture proposed by HIP, especially designed for providing security and multihoming to MNs, with the micro-mobility management scheme of PMIPv6, which has been proposed for unmodified MNs with future Global Mobility Management (GMM) protocols. HIP-PMIPv6 combination has double benefits. On one side, it represents an efficient micro-mobility solution for HIP. On the other side, it provides a GMM scheme for PMIPv6, which supports intertechnology handover and multihoming together with security. The HIP-PMIPv6 scheme has been implemented in a real testbed and experimental results prove its viability.

The Host Identity Protocol (HIP) is an internetworking architecture and an associated set of protocols, developed at the IETF since 1999 and reaching their first stable version in 2007. HIP enhances the original Internet architecture by adding a name space used between the IP layer and the transport protocols. This new name space consists of cryptographic identifiers, thereby implementing the so-called identifier / locator split. In the new architecture, the new identifiers are used in naming application level end-points (sockets), replacing the prior identification role of IP addresses in applications, sockets, TCP connections, and UDP-based send and receive system calls. IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are still used, but only as names for topological locations in the network. HIP can be deployed such that no changes are needed in applications or routers. Almost all pre-compiled legacy applications continue to work, without modifications, for communicating with both HIP-enabled and non-HIP-enabled peer hosts.

The current Internet architecture is facing serious scaling problems notably in its routing and addressing system. Also due to the overloaded semantic of the IP address, the current Internet architecture cannot inherently support mobility and multihoming. To solve these problems, different Locator Identity Spilt solutions have been proposed. However most of these solutions tend to focus only on part of the problem space, and usually place mobility aside. For all Locator Identity Split protocols to work a Mapping Infrastructure is required. We believe that this Mapping Infrastructure would not scale efficiently with a high number of mobile nodes and would contribute to a large amount of packet loss while mobile nodes are roaming. This paper proposes a tiered architecture which divides the Mapping Infrastructure into a core mapper and an internal mapper. This separation allows the Mapping Infrastructure to scale in a highly mobile scenario.
