REDUCTION OF HANDOVER DELAYS IN NESTED PROXY MOBILE IPv6/MOBILE IPv6 NETWORKS

摘要

A method for reducing handover delays of a mobile node moving from a first domain to a second domain, those domains being nested in a network, comprises, in a network node that manages connectivity between the first and second domains: establishing procedures for handover of the mobile node in the second domain, wherein establishing the procedures comprises receiving a binding request issued on behalf of the mobile node; and in response to the received binding request, establishing binding procedures in the first domain. Establishing the procedures for handover of the mobile node and the binding procedures occur in an overlapping manner. The network node for carrying such a method comprises a processing module for establishing procedures for handover in the second domain; and a binding processing module, responsive to the received binding request, for establishing binding procedures in the first domain. The processing and binding modules work in an overlapping manner.
