An efficient resource utilization scheme within PMIPv6 protocol for urban vehicular networks

Abstract

Recently, the mobility management of urban vehicular networks has become great challenges for researchers due to its unique mobility requirements imposed by mobile users when accessing different services in a random fashion. To provide a ubiquitous Internet and seamless connectivity, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has proposed a Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) protocol. This is meant to address the signaling of the mobility transparent to the Mobile Node (MN) and also guarantee session continuity while the MN is in motion. However, performing a handoff by tens of thousands of MNs may harm the performance of the system significantly due to the high signaling overhead and the insufficient utilization of so-called Binding Cash Entry (BCE) at the Local Mobility Anchor (LMA). To address these issues, we propose an efficient scheme within the PMIPv6 protocol, named AE-PMIPv6 scheme, to effectively utilize the BCE at the LMA. This is primarily achieved by merging the BCEs of the MNs, thus, reducing the signaling overhead. Better utilization of the BCEs has been attained by employing virtual addresses and addressing pool mechanisms for the purpose of binding information of the MNs that are moving together towards the same network at a specific time, during their handoff process. Results obtained from our simulation demonstrates the superiority of AE-PMIPv6 scheme over E-PMIPv6 scheme. The AE-PMIPv6 succeeds in minimizing the signaling overhead, reduces the handover time and at the same time efficiently utilize the buffer resources.

A SDN-Based Vehicular Mobility Management for a Shared-Prefix Model Over IEEE WAVE IPv6 Networks

“…In [6], an efficient scheme within the PMIPv6 protocol, named AE-PMIPv6 scheme, is proposed to provide seamless handover for the mobile node in the urban vehicular network. It reduces the signaling cost and the buffering overhead in the network by merging the binding cache entry of the mobile node.…”

A Comprehensive Cost Analysis of Intra-Domain Handoff with Authentication Cost in PMIPv6 for Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs)

“…According to the results of their numerical analysis, their proposed protocol outperforms the existing constrained application protocol without group. In 2019, the authors proposed the AE-PMIPv6 scheme [18], which used the BCE at the LMA, as part of the PMIPv6 protocol. They've consolidated the MNs' BCEs, resulted in a reduction in signaling overhead.…”

A Comparative Performance Evaluation of A load-balancing Algorithm using Contiki: “RPL vs QU-RPL”

“…The absence of such mechanism may prevent the distribution of traffic among multiple nodes, potentially increasing data loss caused by the node packet buffer overflow or leading to a faster depletion of the energy of overloaded nodes which in turn may result in service disruption [1], [9]. For this reason, load-balancing is an essential and practical RPL issue that, given the circumstances, has been somewhat underemphasised.One of the benefits of integrating the IP with WSN is providing mobility management protocols to enhance the telecommunication systems [10], [11], [12].Another works are implemented to increase the users' satisfactory when they are using the critical applications in the world of IoT in terms of fault tolerance of IoT networks and security [13], [14]. Although of the great enhanced that are made by the researchers, we will only focus in this research on the RPL evaluation to enhance the packet routing in the IoT networks.…”
