Abstract:
This paper proposes an efficient low
update latency handover scheme for Proxy Mobile
IPv6 (PMIPv6)-a Network-based mobility
management protocol. The major aspect that
introduces high latency during Mobile Node (MN)
handover between Mobile Access gateways
(MAGs) of the same PMIPv6 domain has been
analyzed. The analysis included MN profile
acquirement by MAG agent and handover process
between MAG agents. From this analysis, an
improved solution that optimizes the handover
delay has been provided. The solution has been
verified by simulation in Network Simulator
