Abstract

This paper proposes an agent-based architecture to realize personal mobility. Following terminal mobility, personal mobility is becoming another research hotspot in the area of mobility and mobility management. Through the comparison of the frameworks of these two sorts of mobility, two core issues of realizing personal mobility are brought forward. A new architecture, Double Agent Architecture, is proposed to support personal mobility. The holistic framework of this architecture and detailed structure of network entities are also stated. Two kinds of agents, managed by users and service providers respectively, are utilized in this model to fulfill these two corresponding key tasks. Moreover, the processes of communication establishment and handoff performance in the environment of this new architecture are described, also the advantages of this new network configuration and working scheme are pointed out.
