최근 IETF에서 MIP로 대표되는 단말 기반 이동성 제공 기법의 단점을 극복하기 위해 망기반 이동성 제공 기법인 Proxy Mobile IPv6의 표준화 작업을 진행하고 있다. PMIPv6는 기존 MIP를 활용하여 설계된 프로토콜로 단말이 이동함에 따라 이동 정보를 관리하기 위해 필요한 시그널링을 망 내부의 MAG가 대신 수행함으로써, 단말에 별도의 이동성 관리를 위한 프로토콜을 탑재할 필요가 없는 장점이 있지만 단말간의 데이터 교환이 반드시 망에 있는 LMA를 통해서 이루어지게 됨에 따라, 데이터가 비효율적으로 전달되는 삼각 라우팅 문제점을 가지고 있다. 또한 이동 노드가 통신하고자 하는 상대노드가 다른 PMIPv6 도메인에 있는 또 다른 이동 노드인 경우에도 두 이동 노드 간에도 최적화되지 않은 경로로 패킷이 교환되는 문제가 발생한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 서로 다른 도메인 간의 경로 최적화 메커니즘을 제안한다.

Unlike host-based IPv6 mobility support protocols such as Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6), Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 (HMIPv6), and Fast handover for Mobile IPv6 (FMIPv6), Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) is expected to accelerate the real deployment of IPv6 mobility support protocol by using only collaborative operations between the network entities without mobile node (MN) being involved. In this paper, we analyze and compare the handover latency of network-based IPv6 mobility support protocol (i.e., PMIPv6) with the representative host-based IPv6 mobility support protocols such as MIPv6, HMIPv6, and FMIPv6. Analytical results show that the handover latency of PMIPv6 is considerably lower than those of MIPv6 and HMIPv6, and the handover latency of PMIPv6 becomes lower than that of FMIPv6 in case the wireless link delay is greater than the delay between mobile access gateway (MAG) and local mobility anchor (LMA).

In wireless networks, efficient mobility management to support of mobile users is very important. Several mobility management schemeshave been proposed with the aim of reducing the signaling traffic of MN(Mobile Node). Among them, PMIPv6 (Proxy Mobile IPv6) is similar with host-based mobility management protocols but MN does not require any process for mobility. By introducing new mobile agent like MAG (Mobile Access Gateway) and LMA (Local Mobility Anchor), it provides IP mobility to MN. In this paper, we propose the analytical model to evaluate the mean signalingdelay and the mean bandwidth according to the type of MN mobility. As a result of mathematical analysis, MF-PMIP (Multicasting-based FastPMIP) outperforms compared to F-PMIP and PMIP in terms of parameters for the performance evaluation.

Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) is a network-based mobility support protocol and it does not require Mobile Nodes (MNs) to be involved in the mobility support signaling. In the case when multiple interfaces are active in an MN simultaneously, each data flow can be dynamically allocated to and redirected between different access networks to adapt to the dynamically changing network status and to balance the workload. Such a flow redistribution control is called "flow mobility". In the existing PMIPv6-based flow mobility support, although the MN's logical interface can solve the well-known problems of flow mobility in a heterogeneous network, some missing procedures, such as an MN-derived flow handover, make PMIPv6-based flow mobility incomplete. In this paper, an enhanced flow mobility support is proposed for actualizing the flow mobility support in PMIPv6. The proposed scheme is also based on the MN's logical interface, which hides the physical interfaces from the network layer and above. As new functional modules, the flow interface manager is placed at the MN's logical interface and the flow binding manager in the Local Mobility Anchor (LMA) is paired with the MN's flow interface manager. They manage the flow bindings, and select the proper access technology to send packets. In this paper, we provide the complete flow mobility procedures which begin with the following three different triggering cases: the MN's new connection/disconnection, the LMA's decision, and the MN's request. Simulation using the ns-3 network simulator is performed to verify the proposed procedures and we show the network throughput variation caused by the network offload using the proposed procedures.

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.

본 논문은 Inter-Local Mobility Anchor 환경에서의 경로 최적화 기법을 Proxy Mobile IPv6 환경에서 캐쉬 정보를 활용하여 삼각 라우팅 문제를 해결하기 위해 경로 최적화 수행 시 빠른 처리 속도와 안정성을 가지는 방법에 대해 연구하였다. 기존의 경로 최적화 방법 중 inter-Local Mobility Anchor 환경에서 Liebsch의 방법은 모든 경우를 확인하기에 어떤 상황에서도 동일한 시그널링 코스트가 사용되지만 경로 최적화를 위한 프록시 바인딩의 시그널링 코스트가 많고, Dutta의 방법은 경로 최적화를 위한 프록시 바인딩의 시그널링 코스트는 효과적으로 감소시켰으나 Mobile Access Gateway 사이의 프록시 바인딩 과정이 없음으로 인하여 발생할 수 있는 문제점을 간과하였다. 본 논문에서는 Inter-Local Mobility Anchor 환경에서도 시그널링 비용은 증가시키지 않으면서 Local Mobility Anchor와 Mobile Access Gateway로부터 메시지를 받을 경우 응답 메시지를 전송하여 신뢰성을 향상시킨 경로 최적화 방법을 캐쉬 정보를 활용하는 방안에 관하여 연구하였다.

This paper reviews diverse IP mobility and fast handover mechanisms for seamless Internet services. Especially, fast handover mechanisms for the Proxy Mobile IPv6( PMIPv6) are categorized according to their approaches. Then, a new fast handover PMIPv6(FH-PMIPv6) mechanism is proposed using only L3 signaling message exchange. In the proposed FH-PMIPv6 mechanism, only local mobility anchor(LMA) exchanges L3 signaling messages with mobility access gateways(MAGs) for the fast handover operation. That is, inter-MAG signalling messages are not required for the fast handover operation. Therefore, unlike existing fast handover mechanisms, two relevant neighbouring MAGs need not set up the security association(SA) to protect fast handover related signaling messages and share SA related information. Moreover, the L3 triggering message is defined newly by standard ICMPv6 to trigger promptly the proposed mechanism. Analysis and comparison of the handover latency are performed for the proposed mechanism and existing mechanisms, which shows that the proposed FH-PMIPv6 mechanism has the favorable performance.

In a network-based approach such as Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6), the serving network controls the mobility management on behalf of a Mobile Node (MN), thereby eliminating a MN from any mobility-related signaling. Although PMIPv6 is being standardized by the IETF NetLMM WG, PMIPv6 still suffers from a lengthy handover latency and the on-the-fly packet loss during a handover. Therefore, this paper presents an enhanced fast handover scheme for PMIPv6. The proposed handover scheme uses the Neighbor Discovery message of IPv6 to reduce the handover latency and packet buffering at the Mobile Access Gateway (MAG) to avoid the on-the-fly packet loss during a handover. In addition, it uses an additional packet buffering at the Local Mobility Anchor (LMA) to solve the packet ordering problem. We evaluate the performance of the proposed handover scheme using both analytical model and simulation. The numerical analysis shows that the proposed scheme has a relatively shorter handover latency. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme could avoid the on-the-fly packet loss and ensure the packet sequence.

In PMIPv6-based network, mobile nodes can be made smaller and lighter because the network nodes perform the mobility management-related functions on behalf of the mobile nodes. The one of the protocols, Fast Handovers for Proxy Mobile IPv6(FPMIPv6)[1] has studied by the Internet Engineering Task Force(IETF). Since FPMIPv6 adopts the entities and the concepts of Fast Handovers for Mobile IPv6(FMIPv6) in Proxy Mobile IPv6(PMIPv6), it reduces the packet loss. Conventional scheme has proposed that it cooperated with an Authentication, Authorization and Accounting(AAA) infrastructure for authentication of a mobile node in PMIPv6, Despite the best efficiency, without begin secured of signaling messages, PMIPv6 is vulnerable to various security threats such as the DoS or redirect attAcks and it can not support global mobility between PMIPv. In this paper, we analyze Kang-Park & ESS-FH scheme, and then propose an Enhanced Security scheme for FPMIPv6(ESS-FP). Based on the CGA method and the pubilc key Cryptography, ESS-FP provides the strong key exchange and the key independence in addition to improving the weaknesses for FPMIPv6. The proposed scheme is formally verified based on Ban-logic, and its handover latency is analyzed and compared with that of Kang-Park scheme[3] & ESS-FH and this paper propose inter-domain fast handover sheme for PMIPv6 using proxy-based FMIPv6(FPMIPv6).

Proxy mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6), which is a centralized mobility management protocol, are dependent on a local mobility anchor (LMA) to process all control and data traffics. Therefore, it has serious problems such as the tremendous traffic concentration into the core network and the triangle routing. In this paper, therefore, in order to alleviate these drawbacks, we propose a PMIPv6-based enhanced distributed mobility management scheme considering a user's traffic locality. Performance evaluation results indicate that in most cases, except for when a user's mobility rate is relatively very higher than the traffic rate, the proposed scheme shows better performance result than that of PMIPv6. Besides, it is demonstrated that the proposed scheme can be an effective alternative that can distribute the significant loads on the LMA of the core networks to the MAGs of the edge networks.
