“…Wireless broadband technologies can provide ubiquitous access to MTC devices, particularly, interworking between 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) and the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) for MTC is attractive [5], [6], [7], [8]. When a group of MTC devices roam from 3GPP network to WiMAX network which belongs to different operator domains, or vice versa, the access authentication must be performed by the corresponding access networks which are regulated by their respective home authentication servers.…”

With extensive promising applications, machine to machine (M2M) communications or machine-type communication (MTC) have attached a tremendous interest among mobile network operators and research groups. Supporting multiple MTC devices has been considered as an essential requirement in M2M communications. How to achieve a secure and efficient access authentication for a group of MTC devices during roaming is a challenging issue. In this paper, in order to simultaneously resolve the access security and efficiency in MTC, we propose a secure and efficient group roaming scheme for MTC between 3GPP and WiMAX networks, named SEGR, which is characterized by authenticating all MTC devices in a group simultaneously and speeding up the process of authentication through adopting a novel certificateless aggregate signature technique. Through security analysis, the proposed SEGR can provide robust security, especially overcome the drawback of key escrow in identity-based (ID-based) aggregate signature schemes. In addition, performance evaluations in terms of communication overhead and computation complexity demonstrate that SEGR is more efficient than those traditional schemes.

“…UTRAN cell. Since the UE is connected to the same P-GW before and after the VHO, the PMIPv6 [13] tunnel in the P-GW is switched from ASN-GW to S-GW, the S-GW would send a binding update to the P-GW [14].. We note here that steps 1 to 8 occur while the UE is still in the source network, thus significantly reducing the active VHO time. [15] Describes a similar VHO scenario (WiMAX-3G cellular network: right to left) from a centralized IMS-MIP perspective.…”

The scarce availability of spectrum and the proliferation of smartphones, social networking applications, online gaming etc., mobile network operators (MNOs) are faced with an exponential growth in packet switched data requirements on their networks. Haven invested in legacy systems (such as HSPA, WCDMA, WiMAX, Cdma2000, LTE, etc.) that have hitherto withstood the current and imminent data usage demand, future and projected usage surpass the capabilities of the evolution of these individual technologies. Hence, a more critical, cost-effective and flexible approach to provide ubiquitous coverage for the user using available spectrum is of high demand. Heterogeneous Networks make use of these legacy systems by allowing users to connect to the best network available and most importantly seamlessly handover active sessions amidst them. This paper presents a survey of interworking architectures between IMT 2000 candidate networks that employ the use of IEFT protocols such as MIP, mSCTP, HIP, MOBIKE, IKEV2 and SIP etc. to bring about this much needed capacity.

The reason for the creation of this element is twofold: First, the UE may not be able to transmit on the target network while the serving network is in use; Second, it is needed to avoid the creation of specific interfaces between the serving and the target network [15]. 2.…”

“…In L3 tunneling, all messages are sent as IP payload. The main advantage of the FAF model is that no hard links and interfaces between the source and the target networks are necessary, avoiding tight coupling between different technologies [15]. However, one drawback of this approach is that a new network element has to be introduced on the operator's core network.…”

Abstract. The main motivation of IMT-Advanced is to enable the mobile users with capacity to handle high data rates and low delay services such as high quality video and online gaming. Two technologies are competing in this field: LTE-Advanced and Mobile WiMAX. Following the Always Best Connected (ABC) paradigm, the integration of these two technologies with legacy ones is imminent. The Evolved Packet Core (EPC) is the 3GPP new core network which aims to integrate 3GPP and non-3GPP access networks through an All-IP core network. The IEEE 802.21 standard is another important contribution, optimizing vertical handovers, by providing a common framework between the data link and network layers. Although the 3GPP has already defined optimized vertical mobility procedures, these are dependent on the technology, and much effort is needed in order to achieve the so desired seamless mobility. In our work, we propose a new mobility architecture and several enhancements on handover signaling to provide seamless mobility between IMT-Advanced candidates and legacy wireless technologies. We further compare our proposed mobility framework with current approaches, showing the advantages of the integrated approach.
