A terminal-assisted route optimized NEMO management

ABSTRACT

The NEMO basic support protocol enhances mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) to enable mobile router (MR) to move together with mobile network node (MNN) as a unit. This protocol suffers from pinball routing effect which has triggered research works to enable direct routing between MNNs in the presence of network mobility. Instead of relying on MIPv6, this paper describes network mobility using a novel terminal-assisted IP mobility protocol on MNNs that work cooperatively with MRs and access routers to provide seamless connectivity. This protocol is superior as it neither suffers from pinball routing effect nor requires dedicated infrastructure support such as home agent. It also does not dynamically increase the size of IP header. Through quantitative comparisons with existing protocol, this protocol triumphs in terms of average packet delivery overhead and packet generation.
