Abstract

AbstractThis paper examines mobility operations, and particularly handovers in an environment, where Hierarchical Mobile IP is operating over MPLS. The work in this paper improves on existing methods of MIP-MPLS interworking first by defining a simple framework based on Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 (HMIPv6) and second by outlining the relevant protocol design assumptions. In addition, the combined protocol is examined in detail under two scenarios and a comprehensive explanation of the operation of intra- and inter-cell handovers is presented.KeywordsMobile NodeHome AgentRadio Access NetworkCorrespondent NodeMobility Anchor PointThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
