The fully accomplished standardization of the new mobile generation has led to the
deployment of fifth-generation (5G) wireless networks to gratify enormous traffic volume for …

Cellular networks have been hierarchical so that mobility management have primarily been
deployed in a centralized architecture. More flattened network architecture for the mobile …

Expecting a significant increase in number of mobile terminals to be managed together with
a mobile data traffic boom in future heterogeneous networks, current centralized mobility …

In this paper we discuss the evolution of mobility management mechanisms in mobile
networks. We emphasize problems with current mobility management approaches in case of …

The recent explosion of mobile Internet traffic has resulted in an evolution of mobile network
architectures. Mobile network architectures are being flattened to cope with the recent traffic …

In the 5G era, network mobility management is recognized as a very important factor for user
service availability. Especially, due to fast speed and shrinking cell coverage, frequent …

Existing wireless networks typically support mobility by routing via a mobility anchor in a
home network, but such via routing can result in non-optimized routes. This paper proposes …

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 …

Internet traffic has increased steeply in recent years, due in great part to social platforms and
peer-to-peer networks. In addition, users' wireless access represents an ever-growing …

The use of centralized mobility management approaches-such as Mobile IPv6-poses some
difficulties to operators of current and future networks, due to the expected large number of …
