Title: A Novel Inter-LMD Handoff Mechanism for Network-Based Localized Mobility Management
Abstract: Network-based Localized Mobility Management (NetLMM) is an outstanding candidate solution for the mobility management controlled by the network. In NetLMM, mobile nodes (MNs) can be provided mobility services without any installation of mobility-support stack. However, there is a restriction that the MN is able to have the mobility only within a single localized mobility domain (LMD). In this paper, we propose a novel Inter-LMD handoff mechanism in order to eliminate the shortcoming of the current NetLMM protocol. The proposed Inter-LMD handoff mechanism enables that the MN hands off across LMDs, even if the MN does not have a functionality of Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6). According to the performance evaluation, the proposed Inter-LMD handoff mechanism has approximately 5.8% more overhead than the current Inter-LMD handoff of MIPv6-capable devices, while the current NetLMM protocol does not support the handoff of MIPv6-incapable devices.
