Abstract:
Flow-based mobility support is becoming increasingly common in multi-interface environments because it provides flexible network selection per application flow and better network experience for mobile users. Recently, several drafts related to flow mobility have been being handled in IETF, but mobility handling per individual flow leads to signaling overhead and power consumption issues because individual flow always wants to have the best connected service with all the available network interfaces in its own demand. Power saving communication is becoming a worldwide issue in the mobile communication field. To make resource-efficient flow mobility, we propose a class-based flow mobility (CFM) mechanism. Through the performance analysis and results, we confirm that a CFM mechanism is superior to an individual flow mobility (IFM) mechanism in terms of signaling overhead and power consumption.
