Internet of Things (IoT) has been booming with rapid increase of the various wearable devices, vehicle embedded devices, and so on, and providing the effective mobility management for these IoT devices becomes a challenge due to the different application scenarios as well as the limited energy and bandwidth. Recently, lots of researchers have focused on this topic and proposed several solutions based on the combination of IoT features and traditional mobility management protocols, in which most of these schemes take the IoT devices as mobile networks and adopt the NEtwork MObility (NEMO) and its variants to provide the mobility support. However, these solutions are in face of the heavy signaling cost problem. Since IoT devices are generally combined to realize the complex functions, these devices may have similar movement behaviors. Clearly analyzing these characters and using them in the mobility management will reduce the signaling cost and improve the scalability. Motivated by this, we propose a PMIPv6-based group binding update method. In particular, we describe its group creation procedure, analyze its impact on the mobility management, and derive its reduction ratio in terms of signaling cost. The final results show that the introduction of group binding update can remarkably reduce the signaling cost.

Mobile Internet data traffic has experienced an exponential growth over the last few years due to the rise of demanding multimedia content and the increasing number of mobile devices. Seamless mobility support at the IP level is envisioned as a key architectural requirement in order to deal with the ever-increasing demand for data and to efficiently utilize a plethora of different wireless access networks. Current efforts from both industry and academia aim to evolve the mobility management protocols towards a more distributed operation to tackle shortcomings of fully centralized approaches. However, distributed solutions face several challenges that can result in lower performance which might affect real-time and multimedia applications. In this paper, we conduct an analytical and simulated evaluation of the main centralized and proposed Distributed Mobility Management (DMM) solutions. Our results show that, in some scenarios, when users move at high speed and/or when the mobile node is running long-lasting applications, the DMM approaches incur high signaling cost and long handover latency.

IPv6 Low-power Personal Area Networks (6LoWPANs) have recently found renewed interest because of the emergence of Internet of Things (IoT). Mobility support in 6LoWPANs for large-scale IP-based sensor technology in future IoT is still in its infancy. The hospital wireless network is one important 6LoWPAN application of the IoT, it keeps continuous monitoring of vital signs of moveing patients. Proper mobility management is needed to maintain connectivity between patient nodes and the hospital network. In this paper, first we survey IPv6 mobility protocols and propose a solution for a hospital architecture based on 6LoWPAN technology. Moreover, we discuss an important metric like signaling overload to optimize the power consumption and how it can be optimized through the mobility management. This metric is more effective on the mobile router as a coordinator in network mobility since a mobile router normally constitutes a bottleneck in such a system. Finally, we present our initial results on a reduction of the mobility signaling cost and the tunneling traffic on the mobile PAN.

The mobility management architecture in current generation LTE networks results in high signaling traffic. In this chapter, we present an Evolved Packet Core (EPC) architecture based on Software Defined Networking (SDN) concepts. The proposed EPC architecture centralizes the control plane functionality of the EPC thereby eliminating the use of mobility management protocols and reducing mobility related signaling overheads. The architecture utilizes the global network knowledge with SDN for mobility management. The proposed architecture has been implemented in the ns-3 simulator. A prototype testbed has also been implemented using the Floodlight SDN controller, a Software Defined Radio platform and relevant software.

Abstract. Future high quality communication services will be offered in an integrated or converged network infrastructure maintaining both fixed wireless and mobile access via multi-mode user terminals. A support of various scenarios of user and/or terminal mobility within a common IP-based infrastructure requires intelligently designed control protocols. A major challenge is to provide seamless (i.e. lossless and low delay) handover between different radio cells and operator domains to enable continuation of unicast and multicast sessions while using network resources most efficiently. IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) is specifying related IP mobility management protocols to be applicable also to a flat architecture as envisaged by Next Generation (Mobile) Networks (NGNs/NGMNs). The contribution will describe operator requirements towards such an approach. Both single-domain and multi-domain scenarios will be discussed based on federation ideas. Already existing solutions are taken into consideration and application of solution proposals towards a Distributed Mobility Management (DMM) currently under evaluation within IETF will be outlined.

The proposals suggested so far can be can be classified in two different categories: on the one hand, NEMO solutions that consider MIPv6 as the base host mobility management protocol, and on the other hand, solutions that consider alternative base host mobility management protocols like SIP, LIN6, or HIP. Besides, a taxonomy on MIPv6 based NEMO protocols classifying them by considering which characteristics they aim to enhance is provided. It is important to point out that the selection of the base host mobility management protocol is fundamental to have as many demanded key features satisfied as possible by the NEMO protocol to be applied in the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) context.

<p>As a demand of accessing Internet is increasing dramatically, host mobility becomes insufficient to fulfill these requirements. However, to overcome this limitation, network mobility has been introduced. One of its implementation is NEMO Basic Support protocol which is proposed by Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). In NEMO, one or more Mobile Router(s) manages the mobility of the network in a way that its nodes would be unaware of their movement. Although, it provides several advantages, it lacks many drawbacks in term of route optimization especially when multiple nested mobile networks are formed. This paper presents a new hierarchical route optimization scheme for nested mobile networks using Advanced Binding Update List (BUL+), which is called HRO-B+. From performance evaluation, it shows that this scheme performs better in terms of throughp<em>ut, delay, response time, and traffic, and achieves optimal routing.</em></p>
