Mobility management applied to the traditional architecture of the Internet has become a great challenge because of the exponential growth in the number of devices that can connect to the network. This article proposes a Software-Defined Networking (SDN)-based architecture, called SDN-DMM (SDN-Distributed Mobility Management), that deals with the distributed mode of mobility management in heterogeneous access networks in a simplified and efficient way, ensuring mainly the continuity of IP sessions. Intent-based mobility management with an IP mapping schema for mobile node identification offers optimized routing without tunneling techniques, hence, an efficient use of the network infrastructure. The simplified mobility control API reduces both signaling and handover latency costs and provides a better scalability and performance in comparison with traditional and SDN-based DMM approaches.An analytical evaluation of such costs demonstrated the better performance of SDN-DMM, and a proof of concept of the proposal was implemented in a real environment.The IETF IP mobility management standards, as MIPv6 6 an PMIPv6, 7 depend on central units that manage both control and data traffic, elaborated according to the traditional routing of IP packets. They also pose problems, as suboptimized routing, low scalability, processing overload in core network devices, and low granularity in the mobility management service.The suboptimized routing occurs mainly because of the use of tunneling techniques. When the mobile node (MN) performs a handover, the traffic destined to it is sent to an anchor point for encapsulation and delivered through an IP tunnel. Regardless of the MN location, the traffic always flows first to the mobility anchor and then to the MN through the IP tunnel, which decreases the goodput because of the packet overhead caused by such transportation, and increases communication latency, because of the use of a longer path.The establishment of the IP tunnel in control plane operations by a central unit, ie, mobility anchor, and forwarding of traffic to the MN in data plane operations cause low scalability and processing overload for devices, as routers, since resources are shared between packet forwarding engine and mobility management tasks.Additionally, the use of heterogeneous access networks (HetNets) imposes other difficulties to such a management, as the integrated management of resources and the soft transitions among networks.The mobility management faces a constant challenge regarding the communication network efficiency with no increase in its complexity. The addition and use of new protocols, signaling messages, or processes that cause overhead because of the encapsulation and control traffic are examples of how the mobility management directly impacts on the Operational Expenditure (OPEX) and Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) of a communication network.An alternative for dealing with the intrinsic problems of centralization and costs in the mobility management is the new concept, called distributed mobility ...

Recently, there has been an explosive growth in wireless devices capable of connecting to the Internet and utilizing various services anytime, anywhere, often while on the move. In the realm of the Internet, such devices are called mobile nodes. When these devices are in motion or traverse different domains while communicating, effective mobility management becomes essential to ensure the continuity of their services. Software-defined networking (SDN), a new paradigm in networking, offers numerous possibilities for addressing the challenges of mobility management. By decoupling the control and data planes, SDN enables greater flexibility and adaptability, making them a powerful framework for solving mobility-related issues. However, communication can still be momentarily disrupted due to frequent changes in IP addresses, a drop in radio signals, or configuration issues associated with gateways. Therefore, this paper introduces Routage Inter-domains in SDN (RI-SDN), a novel anchor-based routing method designed for inter-domain mobility in SDN architectures. The method identifies a suitable anchor domain, a critical intermediary domain that contributes to reducing delays during data transfer because it is the closest domain (i.e., node) to the destination. Once the anchor domain is identified, the best routing path is determined as the route with the smallest metric, incorporating elements such as bandwidth, flow operations, and the number of domain hops. Simulation results demonstrate significant improvements in data transfer delay and handover latency compared to existing methods. By leveraging SDN’s potential, RI-SDN presents a robust and innovative solution for real-world scenarios requiring reliable mobility management.
