Abstract

The convergence of wireless and IP has led to the need for IP to handle mobility. The Mobile IP protocol was developed to facilitate IP mobility. However, it has a number of shortcomings for dynamically auto-configured networks. Mobility protocols like Mobile IP with Location Registers (MIP-LR) and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) have been developed to address some of its shortcomings. Micromobility protocols like Cellular IP have been developed to address other shortcomings of Mobile IP. We present a new integrated mobility management scheme that advantageously combines the strengths of SIP and MIP-LR with the benefits of a micromobility management protocol similar to Cellular IP. A prototype implementation of our scheme is explained, and lessons learned in the prototyping process are presented.
