This book provides a common framework for mobilitymanagement that considers the theoretical and practical aspects ofsystems optimization for mobile networks.
In this book, the authors show how an optimized system ofmobility management can improve the quality of service in existingforms of mobile communication. Furthermore, they provide atheoretical approach to mobility management, as well as developingthe model for systems optimization, including practical casestudies using network layer and mobility layer protocols indifferent deployment scenarios. The authors also address thedifferent ways in which the specific mobility protocol can bedeveloped, taking into account numerous factors including security,configuration, authentication, quality of service, and movementpatterns of the mobiles.
Key Features:
* Defines and discusses a common set of optimizationmethodologies and their application to all mobility protocols forboth IPv4 and IPv6 networks
* Applies these technologies in the context of various layers:MAC layer, network layer, transport layer and application layercovering 802.11, LTE, WiMax, CDMA networks and protocols such asSIP, MIP, HIP, VoIP, and many more
* Provides a thorough analysis of the required steps during amobility event such as discovery, network selection, configuration,authentication, security association, encryption, binding update,and media direction
* Includes models and tables illustrating the analysis ofmobility management as well as architecture of sample wireless andmobility test beds built by the authors, involving inter-domain andintra-domain mobility scenarios
This book is an excellent resource forprofessionals and systemsarchitects in charge of designing wireless networks for commercial(3G/4G), LTE, IMS, military and Ad Hoc environment. It will beuseful deployment guide for the architects wireless serviceproviders. Graduate students, researchers in industry and academia,and systems engineers will also find this book of interest.
