HIERARCHICAL MOBILE IPV6 AND REGIONAL REGISTRATION OPTIMIZATION

While IP is declared as the key technology of the future’s wired and mobile communication, the currently used version of IP, IPv4 itself is not suitable to be used in mobile scenarios. Mobile Internet users need special support to provide connectivity, although they change their place of attachment to the network frequently. The task of mobility management is to provide this support, which consists of two parts: location management and handover management [1]. The first one enables to originate and receive calls for the mobile terminals, the second is responsible for administering base station changes [2]. As a result of our work, we have created a network design algorithm to optimise the handover management in the next generation mobile networks, in order to reduce the signalling overhead
