Network mobility support in PMIPv6 network

In this paper, we propose a network mobility supporting scheme (N-NEMO) in Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) network, which is an issue still up in the air for the PMIPv6. In the N-NEMO, a tunnel splitting scheme is used to differentiate the inter-Mobility Access Gateway (MAG) and intra-MAG mobility. The performance analysis and comparison between other related schemes show that N-NEMO reduces the signaling cost significantly. Besides, it enhances the efficiency and scalability to provide the comprehensive network mobility in the PMIPv6 context.
