Abstract
Mobile IP is a protocol standard designed to be used in a mobile computing environment. However, Mobile IP has a drawback to incur a lot of handoff delays and waste network resources, since CoA registration packets need to go through a HA first whenever a mobile node moves. To solve such problem, this paper proposes a new scheme that, for intra-domain movement, efficiently performs local handoff without notifying the HA. Specifically, based on the notion of load balance, the proposed scheme allows every FA in a domain to become the root FA (a.k.a. Domain FA) dynamically, thus distributing the registration task into many other foreign agents. Our simulation results show that the proposed method proves to reduce registration packets by approximately 7–15% more than existing methods.
