Abstract:
The future ubiquitous network will serve so many mobile terminals that it is extremely important to control them efficiently. One useful approach is to group terminals having similar movement characteristics and manage them in units of groups. Another important issue is the mobility management of moving networks, such as a network on a train or in a car, or a personal area network. Moving networks may be defined for a variety of situations and can lead to a lot of attractive applications. Moving network mobility support is indeed one of the most interesting research topics. In this paper, we clarify the difference between host mobility support and the conventional moving network mobility support, propose a mechanism for moving network mobility support and shows it is better than the conventional ones.
