The number of subscribers in mobile networks is growing rapidly, which challenges the network management and data delivery. The efficient management and routing are key solutions. An important one of the solutions is the Distributed Mobility Management (DMM) that to handles the mobility of subscribers at the edge of mobile networks and load balancing. Otherwise, mobility anchors are distributed across the network, which can manage the handover procedures. In this paper, we propose a novel mobility anchor selection scheme based on the results of a cost function with three factors, to select a suitable cell and anchor for moving subscribers and improve the handover performances of the network. Our results illustrate that the proposed scheme provides significantly enhanced handover performance.

The rapidly-growing number of mobile subscribers has led to the creation of a large number of signalling messages. This makes it difficult to efficiently handle the mobility of subscribers in mobile cellular networks. The long-term evolution (LTE) architecture provides software-defined networking (SDN) to meet the requirements of 5G networks and to forward massive mobile data traffic. The SDN solution proposes separation of the control and data planes of a network. Centralized mobility management (CMM) is widely used in current mobile network technologies, such as 4G networks. One of the problems related to CMM is a single point of failure. To solve the problems of CMM and in order to provide for efficient mobility management, IETF has developed a solution called distributed mobility management (DMM), in which mobility is handled via the nearest mobility anchor. In this paper, we propose a DMM solution with handover operations for SDN-enabled mobile networks. The advantage of the proposed solution is that intra and inter handover procedures are defined with the data buffering and forwarding processes between base stations and mobility anchors. We adopt a simulation model to evaluate and compare the proposed solution with the existing solution in terms of handover latency, packet loss and handover failures.

Mobile Internet data traffic has experienced an exponential growth over the last few years due to the rise of demanding multimedia content and the increasing number of mobile devices. Seamless mobility support at the IP level is envisioned as a key architectural requirement in order to deal with the ever-increasing demand for data and to efficiently utilize a plethora of different wireless access networks. Current efforts from both industry and academia aim to evolve the mobility management protocols towards a more distributed operation to tackle shortcomings of fully centralized approaches. However, distributed solutions face several challenges that can result in lower performance which might affect real-time and multimedia applications. In this paper, we conduct an analytical and simulated evaluation of the main centralized and proposed Distributed Mobility Management (DMM) solutions. Our results show that, in some scenarios, when users move at high speed and/or when the mobile node is running long-lasting applications, the DMM approaches incur high signaling cost and long handover latency.


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.
