The concept of Paging has been found useful in existing cellular networks for mobile users with low call-to-mobility ratio (CMR). It is necessary for fast mobility users to minimize the signaling burden on the network. Reduced signaling, also, conserves scarce wireless resources and provides power savings at user terminals. However, Mobile IP (MIP), a base protocol for IP mobility, does not support paging concept in its original form. Several paging schemes and micro-mobility protocols, centralized and distributed, have been proposed in literature to alleviate the inherent limitations of Mobile IP. In this paper, the authors propose three paging schemes for Distributed and Fixed Hierarchical Mobile IP (DFHMIP) and develop analytical models for them. Performance evaluations of these schemes have been carried out and results have been compared with DFHMIP without paging and with Dynamic Hierarchical Mobile IP (DHMIP) for low CMR values.

The micro-mobility is an important aspect in mobile communications, where the applications are anywhere and used anytime. One of the problems of micro-mobility is the hand-off latency. In this paper, we analyse two solutions for IP micro-mobility by means of a general taxonomy. The first one is based on the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP), which allows the dynamic address configuration of an association. The second one is based on the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), which is the most popular protocol for multimedia communications over IP networks. We show that for the SCTP solution, there is room for further optimisations of the hand-off latency by adding slight changes to the protocol. However, as full end-to-end solution, SCTP is not able to handle simultaneous movement of hosts, whose probability in general cannot be neglected. On the other hand, the SIP can handle both single and simultaneous movements cases, although the hand-off latency can increase with respect to the SCTP solution. We show that for a correct and fast hand-off, the SIP server should be statefull.

Nowadays, we can count several proposals about the micro-mobility problem in IP networks. In this paper, we try to summarize current proposals by means of a general classification scheme. Our taxonomy permits to identify pros and cons of current IP micromobility protocols. This classification should help understanding that e2e solutions do not cope with simultaneous movements of mobile nodes, and thus a mixed scheme would be better. Here, we design a new scheme, namely the smartAR scheme, which reduces network complexity and endures both single and simultaneous movements scenario. Moreover, we provide the classification of the IP micro-mobility protocols with a simple analysis of the hand-off latencies.
