3. Introduction(1) Abstract • Goal • Propose a new scheme for reducing the handoff latency in network-based mobility scenarios based on Proxy Mobile IPv6 • Ideas • The integration between PMIPv6 and Context transfer scheme • How the context transfer protocol can be achieved in a PMIPv6 enabled network • Result • Reduce handoff latencies based on adaptive transferring of context information.

4. Introduction(2) Keywords • PMIPv6 • IETF : NETLMM working Group • RFC 5213, Aug, 2008 “Proxy Mobile IPv6”, S. gundavelli. Ed. • Context Transfer Protocol • RFC 4067 : basic and generic protocol operation between access routers to perform context transfer

5. Introduction(3) Mobility concept & definitions • Terminal mobility • Ability for a terminal to change network point of attachment • Discrete terminal mobility • Continuous terminal mobility(Handover) • User mobility • Defined as the ability for a user to maintain the same user identity irrespective of terminals and terminal types • Service mobility • Ability for a user to use the particular(subscribed) service irrespective of the user location and the terminal that is used for that purpose.

6. Introduction(4) Handoff types • Type(a) • Mobile-controlled handoff • The MN has the primary control over the handover process • Network-controlled handoff • The network has the primary control over the handover process • Type(b) • Proactive(Planned) handoff • A proactive(expected) handover where some signaling can be done in advance of the MN getting connected to the new AR, e.g., building a temporary tunnel from the previous AR to the new AR • Reactive(Unplanned) handoff • A reactive(unexpected) handover where no signaling is done in advance of the MN’s move from the previous AR to the new AR

7. Related work(1) Why Network-based? • Host-based Mobile IPv4/v6 has not been yet deployed that much. • Why host-based MIP is not deployed yet? • Too heavy specification to be implemented at a small terminal • Battery problem • Waste of air resource • No Stable MIPv4/v6 stack executed in Microsoft Windows OS • No change in MN protocol stack required!

8. Related work(2) Proxy MIPv6 Overview • No host stack change for IP mobility • Avoiding tunneling overhead over the air • Re-use of Mobile IPv6 • PMIPv6 is based on Mobile IPv6 [RFC3775]. • Mobile IPv6 is a very mature mobility protocol for IPv6. • Reuse of Mobile IPv6’s home agent functionality and the messages/format used in mobility signaling. • Numerous Mobile IPv6 enhancement can be re-used. • PMIPv6 provides solution to a real deployment problem. • Only supports Per-MN-Prefix model • Unique home network prefix(HNP) assigned for each MN. • The prefix follows the MN.

LMA Home NetworkMN’s Home Network (Topological Anchor Point) MN’s Home Network Prefix (MN-HNP) CAFE:1:/64 MAG1 Host A LMA Address (LMAA) That will be the tunnel entry-point. LMMD(Localized Mobility ManagementDomain), PMIPv6 domain MAG2 MN’s Home Network Prefix (MN-HNP) CAFE:2:/64 Proxy Binding Update (PBU) Control message sent out by MAG to LMA to register its correct location Host B MN Home Address (MN-HoA) MN continues to use it as long as it roams within a same domain Proxy Care of Address (Proxy-CoA) The address of MAG. That will be the tunnel end-point.

10. Related work(4) Context Transfer Protocol • Goal • to quickly re-establish context transfer-candidate services without requiring the MN to explicitly perform all protocol flows for those services. • to provide an interoperable solution that supports various Layer 2 radio access technologies LMA AR AR pMAG nMAG CONTEXT MN

11. Related work(5) Predictive CTD • Network controlled, initiated by pAR • n/pAR: new/previous Access Router • CTD : CT Data • Feature context (MN’s previous IP and parameters for nAR) • which will be used in authentication of MN’s identity • CTAR : CT Activate Request, CTDR : CTD Reply

12. Related work(5) Reactive CTD • Network controlled, initiated by nAR • CT-Reqmessage • CTD • MN’s previous IP, Feature Context, sequence #, authorization token

15. Proposed schemes(1) Proactive Handoff Scheme • Authentication information - MN-ID, shared secret key • Authorization information • - Lists of authorized services • Accounting information. • - Usage record of resourcesand services

16. Proposed schemes(2) Reactive Handoff Scheme

17. Proposed schemes(3) Inter domain handoff scheme

18. Performance evaluation(1) Analytic modeling • Cost functions(MIPv6 vs Proposed) • Location update(CL) • Existing : • Proposed : • Packet delivery(CP) • Existing : • Proposed : • Total cost : CT = CL + CP

19. Performance evaluation(2) Notations • : the average number of LMD crossings • : the number of CNs. • : the location update cost to the HA • : the location update cost to the CN • : the location update cost to the LMA • : the packet delivery cost through the LMA • : the packet arrival rate through the new LMA • : the packet arrival rate through the old LMA • : the average session size • = 1.5 : the packet tunnel cost

20. Performance evaluation(1) Comparison • Total cost for inter-domain handoff

21. Conclusion and Future Work • Network-based localized mobility management • Proactive and reactive schemes. • adaptive context transfer schemes • Context transfer protocol reduces the inter and intra handoff latency by avoiding the re-initiation of signaling to and from the MN. • In the future • we will focus on the detail message structure like how it will be implemented without modifications on the current PMIPv6 architecture and present performance results to assess the effectiveness of this scheme.
