Mobility is a natural phenomenon in cellular networks. The worldwide popularity of mobile communications and Internet has necessitated the merger of the two fast growing technologies to get their fullest advantages. The Internet protocol (IP) was designed for static hosts only. Therefore, in order to add mobility in Internet, the Internet protocol needs to be redefined. This paper is intended to present an overview of various mobility management schemes, available in literature, for IP-based mobile networks.

Mobility management is an essential challenge for supporting reliable multimedia data streaming over wireless and mobile networks in the Internet of Things (IoT) for location-based mobile marketing applications. The communications among mobile nodes for IoT need to have a seamless handover for delivering high quality multimedia services. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) mobility management schemes are the proposals for handling the routing of IPv6 packets to mobile nodes that have moved away from their home network. However, the standard mobility management scheme cannot prevent packet losses due to longer handover latency. In this article, a new enhanced data streaming route optimization scheme is introduced that uses an optimized Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) realignment algorithm in order to prevent the packet disordering problem whenever the nodes in the IoT environment are communicating with each other. With the proposed scheme, data packets sequence realignment can be prevented, the packet traffic speed can be controlled, and the TCP performance can be improved. The experimental results show that managing the packet order in proposed new scheme remarkably increases the overall TCP performance over mobile networks within the IoT environment thus ensuring the high quality of service (QoS) for multimedia data streaming in location-based mobile marketing applications.

The paper considers Global System for Mobile Communications, which plays the important role in contemporary society and carries new forms of dialog in the modern world. It is shown, that GSM-nets play two roles: firstly, they serve as communication tools for people who are in any point of world, and secondly, they can be used as tools for confidential data theft due to the old technology for telephone exchange setting, created as early as in the 1970s. Attacks using SS7 are often executed by hackers. After all, the attacker does not have to be close to the subscriber, and the attack can be made from anywhere on the planet. Therefore, to calculate the attacker is almost impossible, through this vulnerability can be hacked through almost any phone in the world. It will not be difficult to eavesdrop on conversations, intercept SMS, get access to the mobile Bank, social networks because of the vulnerability in the SS7 telephone infrastructure, through which service commands of cellular networks are transmitted. Due to the fact that the vulnerability with the Protocol SS7 is on the side of the operator, protection from such an attack is impossible. Until mobile operators are able to abandon this technology, this threat in the field of information security will remain relevant.

The article is focused on the problem of degrading the signals of broadband 3G / 4G mobile radio access systems in places of subscribers clustering and in so-called “dead zones”. The analysis of the actual principles of building mobile networks has been carried out, the main disadvantages of the approaches to the development of cellular networks have been identified. The current trend of building macro cells in the urban environment has lost its effectiveness due to the increasing frequencies used; it has to be replaced by a fundamentally new way of planning mobile networks. A new principle of providing access to mobile communications “from inside to outside” is proposed, which takes into account the needs of a large number of subscribers in the premises. It is based on setting the maximum number of internal base stations fully meeting the needs of internal network users. Such a distinction will positively affect all subscribers and improve the experience from using the high-quality services of the mobile operators, which will result in increasing the economic performance

Hierarchical Mobile IP (HMIP) reduces the signaling delay and number of registration messages to home agent (HA) by restricting them to travel up to a local gateway only. It uses centralized gateways that may disrupt the communications, in the event of a gateway failure, between a gateway and the mobile users residing with underlying foreign agents (FAs) in a regional network. Dynamic mobility management schemes, using distributed gateways, proposed in literature, tend to circumvent the problems in HMIP. These schemes employ varying regional network sizes or hierarchy levels that are dynamically selected according to call-to-mobility ratio (CMR) of individual user. In reality, this information cannot be readily available in practice. Also, any unusual alterations in CMR values may hamper the system performance. This paper proposes a new mobility management strategy for IP-based mobile networks, which is independent of individual user history. The proposed scheme uses subnet-specific registration areas and is fully distributed so that the signaling overheads are evenly shared at each FA. The scheme provides a viable alternative to dynamic mobility management schemes for its simplicity, performance, and ease of implementation.

The growing popularity of the Internet has resulted in attracting many enterprises to do business transactions over the Internet. The current Internet protocol version 4 (IPv4) has been used for over 20 years. Even though IPv4 applications have been quite successful, it faces a problem of shortage in IP addresses, ineffective security mechanisms, and a lack of service quality management, etc. Scientists and engineers have devoted considerable effort to the development of next generation Internet protocol version 6 (IPv6), which is the core component of Next Generation Internet (NGI) to meet the future requirements of the Internet. Even though NGI is technically superior to the traditional Internet and is being established worldwide, few people have transmitted data through it. According to the Innovation Development Process in the Diffusion of Innovation theory, IPv6 is currently in a stage of technological diffusion. The research studies whether educating potential customers with more IPv6 knowledge created in the innovation process can increase their preference for the technology. With surveys collected from 596 undergraduate students, the results show that knowledge of the commercial applications of IPv6 in mobile communications and information appliances significantly contributes to a preference for the IPv6 technology.

Limitation of wireless resources is the main obstacle for meeting the widespread demands in the cellular network technology. The crisis of resources is further augmented when reservation is made for supporting the migrating users from the neighbouring cells. Many mobility support advanced technologies and mobile communications protocols have been developed to optimally utilize wireless resources. Some policies support the heterogeneous access technologies for multimedia services in mobile networks. Some other policies exploit the mobility information from the current and neighbouring cells to dynamically adjust the key components of resource management such as resource reservation, resource allocation, and call admission control policy to adapt quickly with network traffic changes. This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of various methods to explain the mechanisms for managing these key components of resource management for cellular networks.

This paper has analysed the mobility management schemes in heterogenous cellular networks (HCNs) considering their power consumptions and network selection delays. The HCNs are the key enabler for 5G cellular network to ensure better user connectivity in ultra-dense networks. Large numbers of small cells are deployed under a macro-cell targeting network hot spot. However, ensuring seamless coverage to the mobile subscribers in motion is challenging in such networks. Frequent handoff between the cells with different bandwidth, throughput, latency, and coverage penetrations, significantly increases the signalling overhead in network. In this context, an efficient mobility management scheme plays a key role for the success of HCN technology. In this paper, a detailed behavioural study of mobility management schemes used in HCN has been provided. For mobile users in the network, the power consumption and network selection delay has been evaluated for k-tier architecture of HCN.


Current innovation in the field of Mobile and Wireless network will increase the use of mobile devices which procreated in an outburst of traffic passing through the internet. Due to the explosion of traffic mobility management has become a challenge in future mobile and wireless networks. To deal with such an explosion, mobile networks are becoming flatter as compared to previous hierarchical mobile networks. This paper presents a detailed survey of solutions for currently mobility management such as Centralized mobility management techniques for mobile and wireless networks, described the limitation of Centralized Mobility Management which is hierarchical and centralized in nature and discussed an approach which removes the limitation of Centralized mobility management called as Distributed mobility management. This paper also discussed two different approaches of Distributed mobility management such as Client based Distributed mobility management and Network based Distributed mobility management.
