IP Convergence in Global Telecommunications - Mobility in IP Networks

摘要

The paper describes the main techniques for providing mobility in an IP network. Towards this end the Mobile IP protocol is described in both its guises, namely MIPv4 and MIPv6. Fast mobility is addressed in the next section, and Cellular IP is chosen as the representative protocol. Then, the methods of providing mobility by using a cellular network is presented, and the paper concludes with the description of some common wireless standards.
