Mobility in a future Internet

Abstract

Mobility of users in a future Internet became a reality due to highly mobile end-systems. However, the new dimension of protocol functionality, Mobile IP, resource control, Quality-of-Service (QoS) support, and AAA (Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting) features extended by charging schemes are still to be integrated effectively. Therefore, this position paper addresses these three areas of research concern, discusses basic concepts, and outlines major problem fields still to be worked on, which are discussed in the panel of the same name.
