Proactive IP Mobility Management for Context-Aware All-IP Wireless Access Networks
Overview A major challenge in building 'all-IP' wireless access networks, besides the use of IP as the unifying layer, relates to transparency of the IP handoff process as the mobile node (MN) transits across heterogeneous wireless network domains in IP Mobility Management (IPMM). This paper assesses experimentally how transport protocols such as TCP and subsequently applications can under-perform as the MN performs an IP handoff between two heterogeneous wireless networks, namely WLAN and GPRS. It discusses why dynamic establishment of IP context-state can help address these limitations that seem inherent in heterogeneous environments.
