Abstract

Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) is a network-based mobility management protocol that does not require mobile node involvement in mobility management. In PMIPv6, the mobile access gateway (MAG) incurs a high signaling cost to update the location of a mobile node to the remote local mobility anchor (LMA) if it moves frequently. It may cause excessive signaling traffic and increase a high traffic load on the LMA. Therefore, we propose a new mobility management scheme in proxy mobile IPv6 networks with dynamic paging support. To minimize the signaling overhead, in the proposed scheme, an idle mobile node does not register when moving within a paging area. Moreover, the size of the paging area is determined dynamically according to the changes of in the mobility and traffic patterns of the mobile node. An analytic model is applied to determine the optimal size of the paging area. The cost analysis using random walk on a connected graph model presented in this paper shows that the proposed scheme can achieve superior performance much better than of the PMIPv6 scheme.
