An unbridled exchange of binding update messages have been observed in Mobile IP even for an infrequent movement of a mobile node. This not only makes the mobile node energy inefficient but also increases the signaling overhead. Even though binding lifetime and binding refresh cost are important parameters, they haven't received much attention from research community. This paper proposes algorithms to calculate the binding lifetime and binding refresh cost based on parameters like speed of mobile node, coverage area of mobility agents and session size in a TLMIPv6 environment. Analytical investigation shows that proposed algorithm not only reduces the signaling load of the network but also diminish the processing overhead at mobility agents.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
