Abstract:
Providing an inter-domain handover solution for PMIPv6 that achieves a low signaling overhead and a low handover latency remains a major challenge. In this paper, we respond to this challenge by proposing the Clustered Interdomain PMIPv6 (CI-PMIPv6). CI-PMIPv6 takes advantage of the following: the use of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) techniques; the use of a clustering technique; and the execution of inter-domain handoverrelated operations in parallel with the execution of intra-domain handover-related operations. By doing so, CI-PMIPv6 allows the fast spread of Mobile Node (MN) information among Local Mobility Anchors (LMAs) from different domains during intradomain handovers, thereby avoiding the need for extra signaling to request and obtain such information during inter-domain handovers. CI-PMIPv6 boosts the performance of inter-domain handovers. We support this statement by providing a comparative study of the performance of CI-PMIPv6 and related work. Additionally, we apply the design concepts of CI-PMIPv6 to Fast handovers for Proxy Mobile IPv6 (FPMIPv6). This results in a new proposed protocol, namely CI-FPMIPv6 (Clustered Interdomain FPMIPv6), which also achieves a notable performance.
