摘要

The NEMO basic support protocol enhances mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) to enable mobile router (MR) to move together with mobile network node (MNN) as a unit. This protocol suffers from pinball routing effect which has triggered research works to enable direct routing between MNNs in the presence of network mobility. Instead of relying on MIPv6, this paper describes network mobility using a novel terminal-assisted IP mobility protocol on MNNs that work cooperatively with MRs and access routers to provide seamless connectivity. This protocol is superior as it neither suffers from pinball routing effect nor requires dedicated infrastructure support such as home agent. It also eliminates the need to dynamically increase the size of IP header in IP tunneling. Through quantitative comparisons with existing protocol, we show that this protocol performs better than existing protocols in terms of average packet delivery overhead and packet generation.
