Abstract

Mobile IP provides an efficient and scalable mechanism for host mobility within the Internet. Using Mobile If, mobile nodes may change their point of attachment to the Internet without changing their If address. However, it would result in a high signaling cost. To reduce the signaling cost, we factor in the fact that mobile users will not be actively communicating much of the time. In fact, there Is no necessity to send a binding update message to the home agent when an mobile node does not communicates with others while moving. From this point of view, we propose a lazy update strategy for minimizing signaling cost using the forwarding pointer in hierarchical Mobile IPv6. In our proposal, binding updates are sent only when a mobile node is in a busy mode. If an mobile node is in a dormant mode, binding update messages are delayed until busy mode using the forwarding pointer. As a result, our proposal can reduce the total signaling cost by eliminating unnecessary binding update messages when a mobile node Is in a dormant mode. In addition to, our proposal reduces unnecessary location update cost resulting from ping-pong effect under mobile node's dormant mode. Analysis results using the discrete analytic model presented in this paper shows that our proposal can has superior performance than hierarchical Mobile nv6 when the call-to-mobility ratio is low and the length of the forwarding pointer chain K is low.

이동 IP는 인터넷에서 호스트의 이동성을 제공하기 위한 효율적이고 확장성 있는 기법이다 이동 IP를 이용하여, 이동노드는 If주소의 변경없이 인터넷에서 이동할 수 있다. 하지만, 이동 IP는 위치등록을 위한 높은 통신비용을 요구한다. 이러한 통신비용을 감소시키기 위하여 이동 사용자들의 통신패턴을 조사해본 결과, 이동 사용자들이 실제 통신하는 시간이 많지 않다는 사실에 주목하게 되었다. 실제, 이동노드가 통신하지 않는 유휴상태에서 이동중인 이동노드는 위치등록을 위한 바인딩 갱신 메시지를 흠 에이전트에게 보낼 필요가 없다. 이러한 관점에 의해서, 본 논문에서는 계충적 이동 IPv6 환경에서 포워딩 포인터를 사용하여 통신 비용을 최소화하는 갱신지연전략을 제안한다. 제안 기법은 이동중인 이동노드가 통신하지 않는 동안 발생하는 불필요한 바인딩 갱신 메시지를 제거함으로써 통신비용을 칙소화함에 있다. 제안기법에서 바인딩 갱신 메세지는 이동노드가 통신하는 무휴상태에서만 전송된다. 이동노드가 유휴상태일 경우, 바인딩 갱신 메세지는 포워딩 포인터를 이용하여 무휴상태가 될 때까지 지연된다. 따라서, 이동노드가 유휴상태인 경우 불필요한 바인딩 갱신 메시지를 제거함으로써 위치등록 비용을 감소시킬 수 있다. 또한, 이동노드가 유휴상태일때 핑퐁효과로부터 발생되는 불필요한 위치등록 비용을 감소시킬 수 있다. 이산 분석 모델을 이용하여 분석한 결과는 제안 기법을 이용하여 위치 둥록 비용을 감소시킬 수 있음을 보여준다.
