Abstract

In the Mobile IP, the movement of Mobile Host(MH) causes packets to be transmitted through a long route. A Correspond Node(CN) first communicate with a Home Agent(HA) when a Mobile Host moved from one subnet to another subnet. The HH-MIP algorithm reduces an inefficient transmission of packets by regarding a Foreign Agent(FA) near a mobile host as a Temporary Home Agent(THA). However, The algorithm costs the unnecessary signaling by measuring the distance of route between a FA and a THA for handover in the case that a Mobile host comes from a THA which a current FA never communicated. To solve this problem, we propose a scheme called Hierarchical Home Agent Handover in Mobile IP(HHH-MIP) algorithm. Our HHH-MIP algorithm only searches tables in a router by using the hierarchical structure between a FA and a THA. The simulation results show that the HHH-MIP algorithm reduces the additional signaling cost.

Mobile IP 에서 이동호스트(Mobile Host)의 움직임은 Correspond Node (CN)가 Home Agent (HA)를 거쳐 통신을 하게 하기 때문에 패킷이 긴 전송경로로 통신하게 되는 원인이 된다. 기존의 방식은 이동호스트 주변의 Foreign Agent (FA)를 Temporary Home Agent (THA)로 생각하여 패킷의 비효율적인 전송을 줄이고자 하고 있다 그러나 기존의 방식에서는 FA가 통신한 적이 없는 THA에서 이동호스트가 이동해 온 경우 핸드오버를 위하여 FA와 THA의 거리를 계산하기 때문에 불필요한 Signaling Cost를 발생시킨다. 본 논문에서는 FA와 THA 간의 계층적 구조를 이용하여 이동호스트가 어디로 이동하더라도 FA와 THA의 거리를 계산하지 않고 자신의 가진 테이블만을 검색하는 Hierarchical Home Agent Handover in Mobile IP(HHH-MIP) 알고리즘을 제안하고자 한다.
