A Prediction Based Mobility Extension for eHIP Protocol

Abstract

By revealing of heterogeneous networks, importance of cooperation of different technologies and mobility management became an important issue of wireless and mobile networks. The idea of separation the role of IP addresses for location and identification of a mobile node in the network has also increased its importance. In this study, our motivation is to extend our previously proposed handover management method (early update for host identity protocol (eHIP). We propose to introduce the idea of simply employing movement prediction idea to regular eHIP and so enhancing the handover latency.
