APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING MOBILITY OF SENSOR NODE IN IP-BASED SENSOR NETWORKS

摘要

A method and apparatus for managing mobility of a sensor node in an Internet Protocol (IP)-based sensor network including a plurality of personal area networks (PANs) is provided. The apparatus for managing mobility of a sensor node in a personal area network (PAN), the apparatus including: a sensor node sensing unit to sense a sensor node moving into the PAN from another PAN; a proxy binding update (PBU) message generation unit to generate location change information of the sensed sensor node; and a PBU message transmission unit to transmit the location change information.
