1st Edition
by Ashutosh Dutta (Author), Henning Schulzrinne (Author)
This book provides a common
framework for mobility management that considers the theoretical and
practical aspects of systems optimization for mobile networks.
In
this book, the authors show how an optimized system of mobility
management can improve the quality of service in existing forms of
mobile communication. Furthermore, they provide a theoretical approach
to mobility management, as well as developing the model for systems
optimization, including practical case studies using network layer and
mobility layer protocols in different deployment scenarios. The authors
also address the different ways in which the specific mobility protocol
can be developed, taking into account numerous factors including
security, configuration, authentication, quality of service, and
movement patterns of the mobiles.
Key Features:
- Defines
and discusses a common set of optimization methodologies and their
application to all mobility protocols for both IPv4 and IPv6 networks
- Applies
these technologies in the context of various layers: MAC layer, network
layer, transport layer and application layer covering 802.11, LTE,
WiMax, CDMA networks and protocols such as SIP, MIP, HIP, VoIP, and many
more
- Provides a thorough analysis of the required steps during
a mobility event such as discovery, network selection, configuration,
authentication, security association, encryption, binding update, and
media direction
- Includes models and tables illustrating the
analysis of mobility management as well as architecture of sample
wireless and mobility test beds built by the authors, involving
inter-domain and intra-domain mobility scenarios
This book
is an excellent resource forprofessionals and systems architects in
charge of designing wireless networks for commercial (3G/4G), LTE, IMS,
military and Ad Hoc environment. It will be useful deployment guide for
the architects wireless service providers. Graduate students,
researchers in industry and academia, and systems engineers will also
find this book of interest.
