Abstract
Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) is a protocol that supports mobility of mobile nodes (MNs) within the IPv6 environment. However, the current MIPv6 supports insufficient mobility of MNs. If an MN is moved away from the home link, it takes time for the MN to make a registration and binding update at the home agent (HA). Moreover, the Dynamic Home Agent Address Discovery (DHAAD) mechanism in MIPv6 is too slow for the MN to recover when its HA fails. To solve these two problems, we propose a Distributed Multiple Home Agents (DMHA) scheme. This scheme allows an MN to perform a binding update with the nearest HA, so that the delay in the binding update process can be reduced. It also reduces the fault rate of handoff up to about 55.5% based on the same network parameters. Numerical results presented in this paper show that our scheme has superior performance compared to the standard scheme. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
