Survey and analysis of mobility management protocols for handover in wireless network

Kanwal Ashraf, V. Amarsinh, D. Satish

Abstract

Mobile devices often change their location which triggers the handover from one access router to another. Mobility management provides a way to retain the ongoing session of the mobile node. It is crucial to provide efficient handoff mechanism support for mobile devices. Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) and its extensions have been proposed for this purpose. Fast Mobile IPv6 (FMIPv6) and Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 (HMIPv6) have been developed as host-based mobility management protocols whereas Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) and Fast Proxy Mobile IPv6 (FPMIPv6) have been proposed as network-based mobility management protocols. In this paper, survey and detailed signaling of each protocol is presented followed by analysis of these protocols based on handover latency and signaling cost. Finally numerical results are presented and commented.
