Abstract
Efficient mobility management involves micro-mobility principles. The performance of a representative micro-mobility approach, hierarchical mobile IPv6 (HMIPv6) protocol, is affected by the manner of mobility anchor point (MAP) selection. In this paper, we propose a new method, based on prediction of the future movement of mobile nodes (MNs). Exploiting the information about the future availability of MAPs, the proposed algorithms choose those MAPs that assure a better service. By means of simulations, we compare the proposed solution to other algorithms. The results show promising improvement in terms of average distance from chosen MAPs and average number of MAP changes. Moreover, we showed that, for perceivable improvement of MAP selection, absolute accuracy of movement prediction is not required.
