  3. Introduction • In wireless/mobile networks, mobility management is a key technology • for maintaining ongoing sessions while moving and • for locating the users’ current locations to correctly deliver data. • Next-generation wireless/mobile networks will be based on Internet Protocol (IP) technology • different characteristics from existing cellular networks • Network Mobility (NEMO) support • the demand for Internet access while moving on vehicles is constantly increasing • trains, buses, and ships • Supporting the mobile Internet services on vehicles

  4. Introduction (cont’d) • mobile network (NEMO) • a network whose point of attachment to the Internet changes due to mobility • consists of mobile routers (MRs) and mobile network nodes (MNNs) • The MR within a NEMO is in charge of mobility management. • IETF NEMO Working Group • standardized an IP layer mobility support protocol called NEMO basic support (RFC 3963, 2005) • reduce the binding update (BU) traffic at the expense of tunneling overhead • inefficient packet routing

  5. Introduction (cont’d) • None of the proposal in the literature addresses the problem of balancing the BU traffic and tunneling overhead in an adaptive manner. • in heterogeneous wireless networks, different types of MNs and applications exist • The proposed adaptive NEMO support protocolin this paper is based on Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 (HMIPv6). • employs adaptive BU procedures that • jointly consider the mobility and session activity and • reduce either BU traffic for a high mobility or • packet tunneling overhead for a high session activity.

  6. Background • Mobile IPv6 • a host mobility support protocol • each MN can be identified by its home address (HoA) • When an MN moves to a foreign network, the MN can be reached by its care-of address (CoA) • Data packets that are destined to the MN are transparently routed to its CoA • By the MN’s Home Agent (HA) • The CN can directly send data packets to the MN that has sent Binding Update (BU) to it • by maintaining the binding information between the MN’s HoA and the MN’s CoA.

  7. Background – NEMO Basic Support protocol • Mobile Network Node (MNN) • Local fixed nodes (LFNs) • a fixed node that belongs to a NEMO • unable to change its point of attachment while maintaining ongoing sessions • Visiting mobile nodes (VMNs) • a mobile node (MN) or MR assigned to a home link • does not belong to a NEMO and • is able to change its point of attachment while maintaining ongoing sessions. • mobile network prefix (MNP) • an IPv6 prefix delegated to the MR by its home network, toward its ingress link • A MR informs its HA (HA_MR) of the care-of address (CoA) and MNP • Establishing a bi-directional tunnel between the MR and its HA • used by the HA_MR to intercept packets destined for an MNN within the NEMO

  8. Background – Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 • Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 (HMIPv6) • for host mobility • enhances Mobile IPv6 by introducing the Mobility Anchor Point (MAP) • minimizes the amount of Mobile IPv6 signaling traffic outside the MAP domain • reduces the handoff latency • an MN configures two CoAs: • regional CoA (RCoA) • an address on the MAP’s subnet. • configured when a MN receives a router advertisement (RA) message, with the MAP option containing MAP information. • is not changed as long as the MN stays within the same MAP domain • On-link CoA (LCoA) • an on-link CoA assigned to the MN’s interface based on the prefix information advertised by an access router (AR). • If an MN hands off between ARs and changes its LCoAwithin the same MAP domain, it needs to register the new LCoA only with the MAP. • the RCoA BU with the HA and CNs makes the MN’s mobility transparent to the CNs with which it is communicating.

  9. Adaptive NEMO Support Protocol • Address Configuration • Binding Update to the Mobility Anchor Point (MAP) • Binding Update to the Home Agent • Packet Delivery Procedure • The color green is used in the following slides to mark the special design or usage in the adaptive NEMO Support Protocol, which are different from other schemes in the literatures.

  10. Address Configuration • The MR configures its LCoA and RCoA • by means of an RA message with the MAP option. • The MR relays the MAP option toward its subnet, which allows VMNs to configure RCoAs. • The VMNs’ LCoAs is configured based on the MR’s advertisement message that containing the MNP • If the VMN’s LCoA is registered at the VMN’s HA, packet delivery (PD) to the VMN follows the NEMO basic support protocol. • the MR/VMN register either its LCoA or RCoA with its HAdepending on the characteristics of the NEMO. • Binding cache of HA_VMN • HoA_VMN LCoA_VMN or RCoA_VMN • Binding cache of HA_MR • HoA_MR RCoA_MR, or LCoA_MR • MNP  RCoA_MR, or LCoA_MR • When the VMN registers its RCoA with its HA, • the pinball routing problem can be eliminated. • the RCoA BU induces more BU traffic than the LCoA BU.

  11. (HoA_VMN, LCoA_VMN) or (HoA_VMN, RCoA_VMN) HA_VMN (HoA_MR, RCoA_MR) or (HoA_MR, LCoA_MR) HA_MR (RCoA_MR, LCoA_MR) and may be (RCoA_VMN, LCoA_VMN) L

  12. Binding Update to the MAP • the MR always performs the MAP BU procedure • MAP binding cache: RCoA_MR LCoA_MR • needs to contain the MNP • the VMN performs the MAP BU procedure only when the RCoA_VMN BU to HA_VMN is triggered • MAP binding cache: RCoA_VMN LCoA_VMN (MNP::VMNEUI) • routed to the HA_MR !! • The MAP compares the destination address in the outer header with the MNP • before it sends the packets to the HA_MR. • If the destination address is derived from the MNP, the MAP adds an additional (tunnel) header where the destination address is the LCoA_MR.

  13. Binding Update to the Home Agentand Packet Delivery Procedure • not considering BUs (by MR) to CNs • security concerns • significant modifications to the CNs • BUs with the MNP to CNs • BU explosion problem • session-to-mobility ratio (SMR) • the ratio of the session arrival rate to the handoff rate. • high the session activity is a more important factor • aim to reduce the packet tunneling overhead rather than the BU traffic. • Low the handoff rate is dominant • better to seek to reduce the BU traffic

  14. SMR: low reduce BU traffic high reduce PD overhead

  15. SMR: low reduce BU traffic high reduce PD overhead SMR < δ1 SMR ≧ δ1

  16. Performance Analysis • Total cost (bytes*hops) when m LFNs and n VMNs: • CT(m,n) = CBU(n) + CPD(m,n) • since LFNs do not perform any BU registrations, the BU cost does not consider the number of LFNs, m • CBU(n|i, j) : the BU cost when a NEMO experiences i AR subnet crossings and j MAP domain crossingsduring an intersession arrival time. • L: the number of packets of a session

  17. a: The per-hop transmission cost for a BU/BACK pair • b : The per-hop transmission cost for a tunneling header

  18. NEMO Basic Support Protocol

  19. HMIPv6-Based NEMO Support Protocol • The same with the adaptive NEMO support protocol under the condition SMR ＜δ1 and SMR ≧ δ2

Pr(r< δ) • λI : The intersession arrival time follows an exponential distribution with rate λI • tI : the random variables for the intersession arrival time • tSbe the random variables for the AR subnet residence time • SMR random variable r is given by tS/tI , and its mean is λI/μS. The SMR cumulative distribution function is derived as [28] ( λS [28]= λI) [28] S. Pack, X. Shen, J. Mark, and J. Pan, “Adaptive route optimization in hierarchical mobile IPv6 networks,” IEEE Trans.

  22. α(i)and β(j) • 1/μS and 1/μD: The AR subnetand MAP domain residence time of a NEMO follows a general distribution with mean 1/μS and 1/μD • fS*(s) is the Laplace transform of fS(t). (pdf. of the AR subnet residence time) • Based on the fluid flow model [25] • v: the average velocity of a NEMO, • LS and LD : the perimeters of an AR subnet and MAP domain • ASand AD: the areas of an AR subnet and MAP domain • If we assume that a MAP domain consists of N subnets, then μD = μS/ √N [27] [25] X.

  23. λI : The intersession arrival time follows an exponential distribution with rate λI • Let NS and ND be the numbers of subnet crossings and domain crossings during an intersession arrival time. • Pr(NS= i) = α(i) and Pr(ND = j) = β(j)are derived as follows [29]: E[tc] = 1/λI [29] [29] Y.

  24. Numerical Results • The AR subnet (MAP domain) residence time is assumed to follow a Gamma distribution with mean 1/μS (1/μD) and variance VS (VD). • the SMR cumulative distribution function

  25. Numerical Results (cont’d) • Optimal SMR Threshold • find δ1∗ first because δ2∗ is dependent on it • Let φ be the SMR value where CLCoAMR(r) = CRCoAMR(r) • Then, the adaptive NEMO support protocol chooses the RCoA_MR BU when the SMR is less than φ

  26. large L the PD cost dominated  high packet overhead
