Mobility management in distributed computing system using QualNet

Abstract

With the advancement in mobility management in next generation, people will have an effortless, widespread, continuous access to information, activity and communication etc. when, where and how the client want it. To craft such an environment, one calls for integrating various networks that are budding from various emerging engineering practices. The Next Generation Future Network (NGFN) seems to visualize as a cluster of synchronized heterogeneous mobile interacting technologies with a unique Internet Protocol (IP). Thus to make certain about continual services during session handoffs necessitates the implementation of successful mobility and session management mechanisms in these contributing access networks. Furthermore, an efficient and effective distributive system can be valuable in wide range of areas such as: for monitoring the entry to a secure data base, refining QoS, digital media files, concurrent data structure in wireless applications and in mobile ad hoc networks. To achieve seamless mobility management for future networks (FNs), a study of WLAN and WiMAX interworking solution including integration architecture, switching procedure and inter-system measurement has been performed. For the purpose of simulation QualNet Simulator tool has been used.
