Abstract

Using the Internet as a foundation for wirelessnetworking, there is currently a great deal of interestin providing IP networking support for mobile hosts. Asa result of IPs reliance on the entire Internet address for host identification, most proposalsdepend on a default route through the mobile host's homeaddress, which makes for unnecessarily long routes. Thispaper introduces two concepts, “localregion” and “patron service”, based on thelocality features of host moving and calling patterns.It then shows how these concepts work together torealize a location management scheme for achievingoptimal routing for most traffic while restricting costlylocation propagation. The proposed scheme wasimplemented using a network simulator and evaluated fromrouting effectiveness point of view, as compared withits location overhead.
