Abstract

By having a local mobility management scheme such as regional registration of IETF, we can achieve local handoffs instead of global handoffs. Local handoffs by micro-mobility techniques shorten the delay in managing mobility in the visited domain since it eliminates the registration process to the home network of mobile nodes, hence it also decreases the load of HA(Home Agent). Using the characteristics of the active network, by employing active nodes in the wireless local mobility management environment, we can optimize the mechanism of registration and path setup for the mobile data traffic. We propose an enhanced mobility management mechanism which combines the micro-mobility techniques and active nodes of active access networks.
