Cross-layer Localized Mobility Management Based on SIP and HMIPv6 in Next Generation Networks

Next Generation Networks (NGNs) are aiming to integrate different access technologies for the accessibility of heterogeneous platform under the control of IP protocol. In such a complex environment, the availability of high data rates, high bandwidth, security and end-to-end QoS are major challenges. In this paper, cross-layer localized mobility management based on Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and Hierarchical MIPv6 (HMIPv6) is proposed to support the providence of the end-to-end QoS; network and session mobility, reduce latency and proper bandwidth management. The proposed scheme handles the mobility locally to minimize latency.
