Introduction to MIP
 Proposed by IETF to provide global mobility in IP networks
 MT registers with its home network and gets a permanent address
 Stored in Home Agent (HA), used for identification and routing
 When MT moves outside of home n/w, it obtains a foreign address(CoA)
from Foreign Agent (FA)
 MT has to inform HA of its current location
 HA delivers data packets by tunneling them to MT’s current attachment
 Location update may be high, yields to signal delay

MIP continue… 5
Hierarchical Mobile IP (HMIP)
 Proposed to reduce the number of location update and signal
latency
 FAs and GFAs are organized on hierarchy
 If MT changes FA within same regional n/w, it updates its CoA to
regional GFA
 When MT moves to another n/w, it update HA using publicly
routable GFA
 High traffic load on GFA and frequent movement between regional
n/w degrades the performance
6
Hierarchical Distributed Dynamic Mobile IP
(HDDMIP)
 Each FA can act as either FA and GFA
 Number of FA attached to GFA adjusted for each MT
 Regional n/w boundary is adjusted for MT
 Calculated based mobility variation and packet arrival rate
 Add processing load to MT to estimate packet arrival rate and subnet resident
time
 GFA failure only affect the packet routing to MT belongs to this GFA
 System infrastructure and MTs cost could be high
7
Dynamic Hierarchical Mobile IP
(DHMIP)
 Proposed to reduce location update to HA
 Registering the new CoA to previous FA and building FA hierarchy
 When hierarchy level no reached to threshold, MT set up new hierarchy
 Location update to previous FA is less costly compare to HA update
 DHMIP outperform compared to HMIP and HDDMIP
 Increases n/w resources used for packet delivery
8
DHMIP continue … 9
Multicast-Based Mobility Approaches
 Reduce signaling load and signaling delay
 Suitable for 3GPP, 3GPP2 and LTE networks where small radio cells and high
mobility of MTs
 Resource usage not greater than DHMIP
 Different Mobile IP multicast protocols are proposed
10
Multicast Hierarchical Mobile IP
(MHMIP)
 Hierarchical multicast groups, FAs are connected to each other through a GFA
 Set of GFAs are connected to an HA
 When MT moves through FAs belongs to same group, GFA multicast packets
 When MT moves outside of the group, new CoA registered with GFA of new group
 GFA send CoA to HA
 Reduces frequency of the location update to HA
 Group is static
 Reduces mobility signaling delay compared to HMIP and DHMIP specially for high
mobility MTs
11
MHMIP continue … 12
Functionality Comparisons
 Bandwidth used by MHMIP signaling is smaller than MIP and DHMIP
 In MHMIP path reestablishment only between GFA and HA
 Bandwidth used for packet delivery is high, since several connection used
 Total bandwidth is higher
 For MT with high mobility, multicast resource are reused
 MHMIP mean bandwidth per call with high mobility is less than DHMIP and other
MIP approaches
13
Analytic Model
 Each handoff require path reestablishment
 CoA update with HA
 New path from HA to FA for DHMIP and MIP
 From HA to GFA for MHMIP
 User data traffic transfer from previous path to new path
 Previous path discard
14
Results Analysis
 MHMIP mean bandwidth per call is smaller than DHMIP
 MHMIP allows cost reduction in terms of resource usage
 DHMIP involves high mean bandwidth per call
 MHMIP mean delay is smaller than DHMIP and MIP
15
Recommendation
 If inter-GFAs handoffs aren’t frequent, use MHMIP which provides
best mean handoff delay and mean bandwidth per call for voice
and data
 If inter-GFA handoff frequent,
 If mean bandwidth per call is important and number of links involved in
MHMIP path reestablishment is high
 Use DHMIP
 Else use MHMIP
 In all most all cases, MHMIP gives lower mean handoff delay, and
mean bandwidth
