With the help of various Layer 2 triggers, Fast Handover for Mobile IPv6 (FMIPv6) considerably reduces the latency and the signaling messages incurred by the handover. Obviously, if not secured, the protocol is exposed to various security threats and attacks. In order to protect FMIPv6, several security protocols have been proposed. To our best knowledge, there is lack of analysis and comparison study on them though the security in FMIPv6 is recognized to be important. Motivated by this, we provide an overview of the security protocols for FMIPv6, followed by the comparison analysis on them. Also, the security threats and requirements are outlined before the protocols are explored. The comparison analysis result shows that the protocol presented by You, Sakurai and Hori is more secure than others while not resulting in high computation overhead. Finally, we introduce Proxy MIPv6 and its fast handover enhancements, then emphasizing the need for a proper security mechanism for them as a future work.

The current centralized mobility control protocols such as proxy mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) are dependent on a central mobility anchor to process all control/data traffic. However, such centralized mobility control protocols have some drawbacks such as traffic concentration into the core network and serious service degradation in case of the failure of such a centralized mobility anchor, etc. In this paper, therefore, in order to alleviate these drawbacks, we propose a PMIPv6-based distributed mobility control scheme considering a user's movement locality. Performance evaluation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme has apparent potentials to alleviate serious drawbacks of S-PMIP, which is a closely-related distributed mobility control scheme, as well as PMIPv6, while reducing the total mobility control cost.

Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) is designed to provide a network-based localized mobility management protocol, but it does not handle the global mobility of hosts. In this paper, we propose a location management scheme based on Domain Name System (DNS) for PMIPv6. In this proposed scheme, DNS as a location manager provides PMIPv6 for global mobility. In addition, a paging extension scheme is introduced to PMIPv6 in order to support large numbers of mobile terminals and enhance network scalability. To evaluate the proposed location management scheme, we establish an analytical model, formulate the location update and the paging cost, and analyse the influence of the different factors on the total signalling cost. The performance results show how the total signal cost changes under various parameters.

With the rapid development of heterogeneous emerging wireless technologies and numerous types of mobile devices, the need to support robust mobile video streaming based on the seamless handover in Future Internet is growing. To support the seamless handover, several IP-based mobility management protocols such as Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6), fast handover for the MIPv6 (FMIPv6), Hierarchical MIPv6 (HMIPv6) and Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) were developed. However, MIPv6 depreciates the Quality-of-Service (QoS) and FMIPv6 is not robust for the video services in heterogeneous emerging wireless networks when the Mobile Node (MN) may move to another visited network in contrast with its anticipation. In Future Internet, the possibility of mobile video service failure is more increased because mobile users consisting of multiple wireless network interfaces (WNICs) can frequently change the access networks according to their mobility in heterogeneous wireless access networks such as 3Generation (3G), Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi), Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMax) and Bluetooth co-existed. And in this environment, seamless mobility is coupled according to user preferences, enabling mobile users to be "Always Best Connected" (ABC) so that Quality of Experience is optimised and maintained. Even though HMIPv6 and PMIPv6 are proposed for the location management, handover latency enhancement, they still have limit of local mobility region. In this paper, we propose a robust mobile video streaming in Heterogeneous Emerging Wireless Systems. In the proposed scheme, the MN selects the best-according to an appropriate metric-wireless technology for a robust video streaming service among all wireless technologies by reducing the handover latency and initiation time when handover may fail. Through performance evaluation, we show that our scheme provides more robust mechanism than other schemes.

This paper reinforced security under the network evaluation of wire wireless integration of NEMO (NEwork MObility) supporting mobility and network-based PMIPv6 (Proxy Mobile IPv6). It also proposes $SK-L^2AS$ (Symmetric Key-Based Local-Lighted Authentication Scheme) based on simple key which reduces code calculation and authentication delay costs. Moreover, fast handover technique was also adopted to reduce handover delay time in PMIPv6 and X-FPMIPv6 (eXtension of Fast Handover for PMIPv6) was used to support global mobility. In addition, AX-FPMIPv6 (Authentication eXtension of Fast Handover for PMIPv6) is proposed which integrated $SK-L^2AS$ and X-FPMIPv6 by applying Piggybacks method to reduce the overhead of authentication and signaling. The AX-FPMIPv6 technique suggested in this paper shows that this technique is better than the existing schemes in authentication and handover delay according to the performance analysis.

In this paper, we propose an enhanced handoff support scheme based on network-based mobility management protocol, Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6), which is actively standardized by the IETF NETLMM working group. By utilizing the dynamic virtual hierarchy network architecture between mobile access gateways (MAGs), the proposed scheme can support network scalability and reliability to wireless access network. In addition, we propose pre-authentication process based on the policy store (PS) to support a fast and seamless handoff. We evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme in terms of handoff delay and end-to-end delay thru computer simulation. Thru, various computer simulation results, we verified the superior performance of the proposed scheme by comparing with the results of other schemes.

In the paper, we proposed the Using Correspondent Information for Route Optimization on PMIPv6 over Inter-MAG. Proxy Mobile IPv6 has the problem that a mobile node sends data packets through inefficient routing paths when communicating other mobile node. Route optimization schemes are proposed to solve the triangle routing problem that creates the shortest routing path by leaving the inefficient routing paths. We proposed Correspondent Information Route Optimization scheme to reduce signaling cost as compared with other route optimization scheme. We can reduce signaling cost of route optimization through the Correspondent Information message on basic PMIPv6 and hand-off environment.

PMIPv6 (Proxy Mobile IPv6)은 MN (Mobile Node)를 대신하여 액세스 망에서 MN의 이동성을 지원하는 네트워크 기반의 이동성 관리 프로토콜이다. 기존의 PMIPv6는 MN과 Corespondent Node (CN) 간 통신을 할 때, 교환하는 데이터 패킷은 LMA (Local Mobility Anchor)를 경유하고 MAG (Mobile Access Gateway)를 경유해서 전송하기 때문에 시그널링 코스트가 증가하고 전송 지연 문제가 발생한다. 따라서 본 논문은 MN이 도메인 내 핸드오버를 했을 시, LMA에서 MAG를 경유하지 않는 경로 최적화를 제시한다.

The Internet is becoming increasingly diverse and complex, the needs of user's convenience is also various and increased. The task forces have been working on how to design the future Internet in satisfaction of user's require and mobility management is one of the key issues to be considered. mobility management in the future Internet is still being designed in an "all-in-one" way where all management functions are tightly kept at a single location and this results in cost inefficiency that can be an obstruction to constructing flexible systems. In this paper, we propose a cost-effective function-distributed mobility management scheme that can enable more flexible future Internet construction. Furthermore, we show the effectiveness of our proposed system via a cost analysis and computer simulation with a random walk mobility model.

Home network providers have many worries about providing home network services with an expandable, reliable, flexible and low-cost structure according to the expanding market environment. The existing client-server system has various problems such as complexity and high costs in providing home network services. In this paper we propose the P2P-SIP structure. P2P communication terminal supporting access of distributed resources provides functions which the existing SIP-based network devices have. Because diverse terminals in a home network access through networks, also, partitioning network domains with home gateways to manage, and applying the network-based PMIPv6(Proxy Mobile IPv6) technology considering mobility of terminals would help to have a more efficient home network structure. Especially, the proposed P2P-SIP structure proves itself as a very efficient structure to have an outstanding expandability among different home networks in a region, and to reduce maintenance costs.
