摘要:In this paper, we propose a Network-based NEtwork MObility supporting scheme (N-NEMO) in Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) network, which is an issue still up in the air for the basic PMIPv6 pro- tocol. The N-NEMO, like PMIPv6, bases mobility support on network functionality, thus enabling conventional (i.e., not mobility-enabled) IP devices to change their point of attachment without dis- rupting ongoing communications. As a result, N-NEMO enables off-the-shelf IP devices to roam within the fixed infrastructure, attach to a mobile network and move with it, and also roam between fixed and mobile points of attachment while using the same IP address. Besides, a tunnel splitting scheme is used in N-NEMO to differentiate the inter-Mobility Access Gateway (MAG) mobility and intra-MAG mobility. The analyzing results show that N-NEMO reduces the signaling cost signifi- cantly and enhances the efficiency and scalability of network mobility in the PMIPv6 context
