Abstract

We propose a compact routing architecture to support mobility in a scalable manner. Our routing architecture requires a route table of size of O(√nlog(n)) in order to provide a path stretch with a provable upper bound of 3. This is the optimal path stretch. Our architecture is built upon the theory of compact routing, which has so far been utilized in static networks only. This is the first attempt to the best of our knowledge to transpose such architecture into a network with mobility support. Our contribution is to adapt the static theory of compact routing to a class of networks with mobile leaf nodes and a static core infrastructure.
