Interlocking with a heterogeneous network is important because mobile users (MUs) who navigate on next-generation (NG) wireless networks want to be provided with undisrupted network services. Unfortunately, there have been few studies on methods of guaranteeing global mobility. To enhance global mobility and interoperability within the NG network environment, in this paper, we propose a proxy-local mobility anchor (Proxy-LMA) system, a mobile IP-based global inter-networking system. The purpose of the proposed Proxy-LMA system is to expand the boundary of mobility with respect to the existing mobility management protocols (PMIPv6 and MIPv6), in order to guarantee global mobility and interoperability within a heterogeneous network environment. The results revealed that the proposed Proxy-LMA system was more efficient than the other methods in terms of the signal cost and delay in a heterogeneous network environment such as wireless sensor networks.

“…Furthermore, the triggering process of mobility handover decision can be performed by many sides as it was stated in the proposed network architecture, which are MN, LMA, and MAG. These kinds of decisions can lead MN to experience unnecessary handovers [ 30 ]. The reason is that when a rapid changing occurrs with MN's position due to roaming process, many mobility aspects are changeable that in such circumstances (high speed) it takes time in updating the parameters with both LMA and MAGs.…”

Advanced Mobility Handover for Mobile IPv6 Based Wireless Networks

et al. 2014

We propose an Advanced Mobility Handover scheme (AMH) in this paper for seamless mobility in MIPv6-based wireless networks. In the proposed scheme, the mobile node utilizes a unique home IPv6 address developed to maintain communication with other corresponding nodes without a care-of-address during the roaming process. The IPv6 address for each MN during the first round of AMH process is uniquely identified by HA using the developed MN-ID field as a global permanent, which is identifying uniquely the IPv6 address of MN. Moreover, a temporary MN-ID is generated by access point each time an MN is associated with a particular AP and temporarily saved in a developed table inside the AP. When employing the AMH scheme, the handover process in the network layer is performed prior to its default time. That is, the mobility handover process in the network layer is tackled by a trigger developed AMH message to the next access point. Thus, a mobile node keeps communicating with the current access point while the network layer handover is executed by the next access point. The mathematical analyses and simulation results show that the proposed scheme performs better as compared with the existing approaches.

“…Additionally, a hostbased mobility approach is maintained by these protocols [5,8,9]. However, all of these suffer by numerous weaknesses, which include: signaling overhead, data loss, high power requirements, latency during handover and extensive mobility signaling functionality [1].…”

Security Vulnerabilities and Improvements of SPAM: a Secure Password Authentication Mechanism for Seamless Handover in Proxy Mobile IPv6 Networks

The main contribution of this paper is to analyze a secure password authentication mechanism (SPAM), proposed by Chuang et al. in 2013 (IEEE Syst J.). The SPAM was used for designing a secure handover in Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) networks. Chuang et al. in the original paper claimed that SPAM provides high security properties and can resist various attacks. However, in this paper we point out that SPAM is vulnerable to the critical attacks, such as stolen smart card and off-line dictionary attack, replay attack and impersonation attack. In addition, we show that the identity of mobile nodes (MNs) and the session key between MNs and mobile access gateway (MAG) can be disclosed by an insider attacker; resultantly, anonymity and confidentiality between MNs and MAG will be completely broken in SPAM. In-order to counter these problems, an improved scheme is offered which also reduces the computational cost. Moreover, the scheme delivers the anonymity/ untraceability and secure session key agreement. Finally, the security of the scheme is proved in the random oracle model.
