HMIPv6 환경에서의 최소비용 MAP 선택 기법

Cost Effective Mobility Anchor Point Selection Scheme for HMIPv6 Networks

Mobility Anchor points are used for the mobility management in HMIP_(v)6 networks, Currently a mobile node selects the MAP farthest away from itself as a new MAP among available candidates when it undertakes a macro hand off. With this technique, however, the traffic tends to be concentrated at a MAP with the largest domain size and the communication cost increases due to the distance between the mobile node and the MAP In this work, we propose a novel scheme to select a MAP to minimize the communication cost, taking the mobile node’s moving speed and data rate into account. To come up with the scheme we analyses the communication analyses the communication cost into the binding update cost and the data packet delivery cost, and derive an equation representing the optimal MAP domain size to minimize the total cost.
