Most existing mobility management deployments such as MIPv6, PMIPv6 and 3GPP utilize
centralized mobility anchors in the hierarchical network architecture. Centralized mobility …

In order to solve the problems such as overload, single point of failure, non-optimized data
path, and network scalability in conventional central mobility management protocols …

This paper presents a detailed comparative study of centralized mobility management and
distributed mobility management (DMM). This paper proposed a modified mechanism of …

Abstract Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) maintains the mobility management of mobile users
without involving them in the signaling of mobility process. The main limitations of PMIPv6 …

The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has been actively standardizing distributed
mobility management (DMM) schemes with multiple Mobility Anchors (MAs). Yet, all existing …

Recently, various efforts from both industry and academia are being performed on specifying
distributed mobility management (DMM). One of the early and promising network-based …

the mobile data traffic has been extremely expanded for years and will remains the high
growth rate in a long term. It is believed that distributed mobility management has been …

IP mobility management has a key role in wireless networking and mobile Internet. The
existing IP mobility protocols are deployed generally in a centralized manner. All the data …

Abstract Proxy mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6), which is a centralized mobility management protocol,
is dependent on a local mobility anchor (LMA) to process all the data and control traffics …

Mobile IPv6 and its extensions including Proxy MIPv6 employ a centralized mobility anchor
to handle mobility management of the mobile nodes. The mobility anchor is in charge of …
