MSMAP: A Study on Robust Multiple Selection Scheme of Mobility Anchor Point in Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 Networks

Abstract

In Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 networks, how a mobile node selects an appropriate mobility anchor point (MAP) has a vital effect on the overall network performance. In this paper, we evaluate the performances of MAP selection schemes: the furthest MAP selection scheme, the nearest MAP selection scheme, the mobility-based MAP selection scheme, and the adaptive MAP selection scheme. The dynamic schemes can achieve load balancing among MAPs, where the adaptive MAP selection is better than the mobility-based MAP selection scheme. We also discussed our proposed scheme which is called the Multiple Selection of MAP in HMIPv6 (MSMAP-HMIPv6). We will show the comparison of performance analysis of HMIPv6 and our propose scheme, based on the assumptions of the new scheme, we can minimize the signaling of the mobile node and based on the pre-binding update research can minimize the handover latency.
