This paper presents current results of designing and evaluating a new micromobility scheme based on the capabilities of Host Identity Protocol (HIP). HIP is a new approach to separate the identifier and locator roles of IP addresses, provides sophisticated security features and efficiently handles end-to-end mobility in global manner, but it shows inefficient behavior when used in scenarios requiring local mobility management. We introduce a complete framework that makes HIP able to serve as an efficient and secure micromobility protocol while preserving all the advantages of the base HIP functions as well. We also discuss a paging method fitting into the proposed framework in order to offer effective location management and improve the system performance. We evaluate our proposal by comparing it to other micromobility protocols using a simulation model implemented in OMNeT++.
