Abstract
With the continuous development of mobile communications and the Internet of Things technology, the enhanced network performance can be seen as one of the major challenges in the fourth industrial revolution context, where new services and applications with strict performance requirements have emerged, such as driverless vehicles, smart cities, factories, and manufacturing, among others. These new services and applications also drive growth of the data traffic, which is increasing exponentially. Thus, in mobile network environments, industry and academia are proposing new mechanisms to overcome the traffic bottlenecks and reduce the signaling overhead that affects current networks. Centralized Mobility Management solutions are prone to several problems such as the aforementioned signaling overhead or scalability issues. To overcome these limitations, Distributed Mobility Management approaches are being considered. In this paper, an analytical cost model and experimental evaluation will be developed for evaluating the performance of the Distributed Mobility Management implementations. Furthermore, a new approach will be proposed to improve network performance.
Highlights
Over the last years, the Internet has transformed the telecommunications industry and will continue to do so because the number of devices are increasing
The numerical results obtained analytically are presented and discussed. Both proposals NB-DMM and TE-DMM are evaluated in terms of signaling cost, processing cost, and packet loss
The following default parameters are the basic configuration of the topology, mobility, and traffic models used in the analysis [6,8,11,15,16]
Summary
The Internet has transformed the telecommunications industry and will continue to do so because the number of devices are increasing. Mobile data traffic has experimented an exponential growth due to the proliferation of these smart mobile devices and the emergence of Internet of Things (IoT) All these changes are impacting on communications networks environments. MIPv6 is probably the most widely known IP mobility support protocol, and it provides the mobility functionalities for an MN away from its home network by updating its TCP/IP stack This means that the MN is responsible for all mobility-related signaling. These Centralized Mobility Management (CMM) paradigms are not efficient when handling a large volume of mobile data traffic These CMM architectures have certain problems and limitations, such as non-optimal routes, centrally deployed mobility anchors (single point of failure), and reliability and scalability issues [5,6].
