Mobile IP
Mobile IP is a protocol
standard that build on the Internet Protocol by making mobility transparent to applications and
higher level protocols. Internet Engineering Task Force proposed mobility by
allowing the mobile node to use two IP addresses: 1)
a fixed
home address 2) a care-of
address (changes at each new point of attachment). To maintain transport
protocol layer connection two entities were introduced FA(foreign agent) and
HA(home agent). A Point of Attachment can be defined as the access
point of an entity into a network.
The process for
redirecting IP packet flow destined to the MN’s old location to the MN’s
current attachment point.When a MN moves to a new sub network, packets are not
delivered to the MN at the new location until the Care-of-Address (CoA)
registration to HA is complete. Handoff takes
place in two ways for heterogeneous network: Horizontal handoff takes place between Base Station,
uses same network technology for access
point. Vertical handoff takes place between
different types of networks. @Upward
vertical handoff : larger cell size and lower bandwidth. @Downward vertical handoff : smaller cell size and higher bandwidth.
