  2. Outline • Introduction • Overview of Major Existing Approaches • N-PMIPv6 Architecture • Performance Evaluation • Conclusion

  3. Introduction • ubiquitous Internet access • people in modern cities spend a lot of time in vehicles • Users demand the ability to keep their ongoing communicationswhile changing their point of attachment to the network as they move around • E.g., when a user leaves a coffee shop and gets on a bus • buses that move between pavilions at a fair or • a train that moves from one terminal to another at an airport • 3G suffers from a number of drawbacks, • Capacity constraints from the point of view of the operator, • cost issues from the end-user perspective

  4. Introduction (cont’d) • NEtworkMObility (NEMO) • developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) • Mobile Router (MR) • located in the vehicles, • handle the communication with the fixed infrastructure and • provide access to passengers’ devices • using a convenient short-range radio technology • Users also move from vehicles to fixed platforms

  5. Introduction (cont’d) • Network-based Localized Mobility Management (NetLMM) • allows conventional IP devices to benefit from this mobility support • allows operators to provide mobility support without depending on software and complex mobility related configuration in the terminals • Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) • developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) • has the limitation of not fully supporting mobile networks

  6. Overview of Major Existing Approaches • Network-based Localized Mobility • Network Mobility Support • The current Solution for Combing NEMO and PMIPv6

  7. Network-based Localized Mobility • Mobile Access Gateway (MAG) • usually the access router • responsible for tracking the movements of the MT in the access link • performs the mobility-related signaling on behalf of an MT • Proxy binding update (PBU) • Local Mobility Anchor (LMA) • within the backbone network • maintains a collection of routes for individual MTs • Proxy binding acknowledgment (PBA) • Packets for an MT are routed to and from the MT through tunnels between the LMA and the corresponding MAG

  9. Network Mobility Support • the mobile network prefix (MNP) • In NEMO basic support, the mobile network has configured addresses belonging to one or more address blocks assigned to the home network • when the mobile network is away from home, packets addressed to the mobile network nodes (MNNs) still will be routed to the home network

  10. NEMO basic operation MN 2 MR 2 LFN LFR 5:: 6:: HA_MN 1:: 3 Internet CN_MN 2:: BU 7:: 4:: HA_MR 4::2->7::2 5::/prefixlen, 6::/prefixlen forward to MR

  11. NEMO basic operation MN MN 2 2 MR 2 LFN LFR 5:: 6:: HA_MN 1:: 1::2->6::2 3 Internet CN_MN 2:: 7:: 1::2->6::2 4:: BU HA_MR 4::2->7::2 5::/prefixlen, 6::/prefixlen  forward to MR

  12. The current Solution for Combing NEMO and PMIPv6 • the NEMO and NetLMM solutions can be combined in an integrated architecture. • Transparent network mobility support: MRs manage the mobility of a network composed of a set of devices moving together. • Transparent localized mobility support without node involvement: MRs and MTs can roam within a PMIPv6 domain without changing their IP addresses. • this combination does not constitute a full integration • an MT cannot roam between an MR and a MAG of the fixed infrastructure without changing its IP address. • MTs are required to run MIPv6 to manage mobility (that is, the change of IP address) by themselves

  13. N-PMIPv6 Architecture • The key idea of N-PMIPv6 consists in extending the PMIPv6 domain to also include mobile networks. • Both the fixed infrastructure (i.e., MAGs) and the mobile networks (i.e., MRs=mMAGs) belong to the same network operator. • MRs require functionality to extend the PMIPv6 domain to mobile networks • manages the mobility of an mMAG in the same way that PMIPv6 manages the mobility of an MT • an MT that attaches to a mobile network is not required to change its IPv6 address.

  14. MT handover (getting off the vehicle)

  15. Performance Evaluation

  16. Experiments were performed through simulations with the OPNET tool. • TCP data transfer • 20 MB data file from the CN to the MT • Measuring the average throughput

  17. Performance Evaluation (cont’d) • video streaming • transmits video over Real Time Protocol/User Datagram Protocol (RTP/UDP) • streamed from one PC to another, crossing a third PC. • The iptables software was configured in the third PC to introduce interruptions of • a duration and frequency equal to the ones caused by handovers (for the usual case 10 ms) • 16 real users assessed the subjective video quality they perceived for each experiment • Following the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) recommendations

  18. involved an unfortunate drop of some key packets

  19. Conclusions • provide an overview of the major existing approaches to support mobile networks in network-based, localized mobility domains • N-PMIPv6, • Design prefix delegation mechanism in the NetLMM domain • Design PBU flag for MR, binding cache look up • Nested tunnel: LMA = MAG - mMAG • the experimental and simulation results show that the performance of combination NEMO+MIPv6+PMIPv6 is substantially worse • Future plans include the implementation of N-PMIPv6 • the experimental evaluation of the state and processing overhead in the nodes of the architecture.

  20. comments • Multiple tunnels between the MAG of the mMAG and the LMA • HA-MR + LMA-MAG + LMA-mMAG • Proxy Mobile IPv6 requires that the link between the MT and the MAG is a Point-to-point link • WiFi? • Might be work on femtocell • Session continuity • When getting on a vehicle • The user (MT) might not be necessary to handover to the MR • Until he/she has terminated the session • When getting off a vehicle • Need to reconnect …
