"Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 Mobility Management", Hesham Soliman, Claude Castelluccia, Karim El Malki, Ludovic Bellier, 26-Jul-08. ( bytes)

This document introduces extensions to Mobile IPv6 and IPv6 Neighbour Discovery to allow for local mobility handling. Hierarchical mobility management for Mobile IPv6 is designed to reduce the amount of signalling between the Mobile Node, its Correspondent Nodes, and its Home Agent. The Mobility Anchor Point (MAP) described in this document can also be used to improve the performance of Mobile IPv6 in terms of handover speed.

"Mobility Services Framework Design (MSFD)", Telemaco Melia, Gabor Bajko, Subir Das, Nada Golmie, Juan Zuniga, 4-Sep-08. ( bytes)

This document describes a mobility services framework design (MSFD) for the IEEE 802.21 Media Independent Handover (MIH) protocol that addresses identified issues associated with the transport of MIH messages. The document also describes mechanisms for mobility service (MoS) discovery and transport layer mechanisms for the reliable delivery of MIH messages.

"Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCPv4 and DHCPv6) Options for Mobility Server (MoS) discovery", Gabor Bajko, Subir Das, 5-Sep-08. ( bytes)

This document defines a number of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP-for-IPv4 and DHCP-for-IPv6) options that contain a list of domain names or IP addresses that can be mapped to servers providing IEEE 802.21 type of Mobility Services [MSFD]. These Mobility Services are used to assist an MN in handover preparation (network discovery) and handover decision (network selection). The services addressed in this document are the Media Independent Handover Services defined in [IEEE802.21].

"Locating Mobility Servers using DNS", Gabor Bajko, 21-May-08. ( bytes)

This document defines application service tags that allow service location without relying on rigid domain naming conventions, and DNS procedures for discovering servers which provide Mobility Services. Mobility Services are used to assist an MN in handover preparation (network discovery) and handover decision (network selection). The services addressed by this document are the Media Independent Handover Services defined in [1].
