“…However, it requires support from the mobile node as well as from the corresponding node and therefore implicates the same high deployment barriers as MIP. The same is true for other end-to-end solutions like HIP [14], or mobile SCTP [15].…”

Abstract-The wide availability of WiFi hot-spots provides mobile users with convenient access to the Internet. However, hot-spots cover only small areas and are often operated by a local authority. A user that roams between hot-spots effectively traverses different operators and access networks. Due to deployment complexity, IP mobility is usually not supported by the mobile node or the network.In this paper we propose an approach that enables access routers to provide seamless mobility support without any changes to the mobile node or other network entities. Our approach provides a simple, flexible, and deployable framework for mobility support and scales well with the number of involved access routers. By simulation and mathematical analysis, we show that even with lower deployment requirements and less support from the network, our approach performs well in terms of routing stretch, handover latency, and signaling overhead.

“…A number of network protocols have been proposed that enable multi-networking at a low level, like SCTP, mSCTP, SIGMA, TraSH and Mobile IP(v6) [7,8]. However, these approaches focus on the problem of ensuring devices are always reachable at a certain address and maintaining existing network connections when a mobile device migrates to a different access point (horizontal handover).…”

“…However, such solutions do not support using multiple network links simultaneously; instead they choose one primary network link and use the other network links only as backup links. In the networking domain there is low-level support for multinetworking [7,8]: they allow applications to connect to other devices using different networking technologies simultaneously, and switch seamlessly between these technologies as needed. Applications that use these multi-networking technologies are fully communication-agnostic: all communication is performed in an opaque way.…”

Abstract. Mobile devices, such as smart phones, have become ubiquitous. This evolution has given rise to a vast ecosystem of mobile applications. Typically these applications only use a small subset of the networking technologies at their disposal. Building applications that use multiple networking technologies simultaneously or exploit knowledge about the available connections is a laborious task. Programmers must manually keep track of the connectivity state and duplicate communication code per connection type. This paper presents networkaware references, a distributed object-oriented programming abstraction that eases multi-networking for mobile applications and allows programmers to react to changes in the connectivity of different networks around them. We show how network-aware references are implemented and evaluate how well they switch between technologies.

“…Similar in principle to a number of recent transport layer handover schemes [16], [17], [18], the basic idea of SIGMA is to exploit multihoming to keep the old path alive during the process of setting up the new path to achieve a seamless handover.…”

Mobile IP has been developed to handle mobility of Internet hosts at the network layer. Mobile IP, however, suffers from a number of drawbacks such as requirement of infrastructure change, high handover latency, high packet loss rate, and conflict with network security solutions. In this paper, we describe and evaluate the performance of SIGMA, a Seamless IP diversity based Generalized Mobility Architecture. SIGMA utilizes multihoming to achieve a seamless handover of a mobile host, and is designed to solve many of the drawbacks of Mobile IP, including requirement for changes in infrastructure. We first evaluate the signaling cost of SIGMA and compare with that of Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 (an enhancement of Mobile IP) by analytical modeling, followed by comparison of handover performance of SIGMA and Mobile IPv6 enhancements. Criteria for performance evaluation include handover latency, packet loss, throughput, and network friendliness. Our results indicate that in most cases SIGMA has a lower signaling cost than Hierarchical Mobile IPv6. Moreover, for a typical network configuration, SIGMA has a higher handover performance over Mobile IP.
