Abstract
Researchers have been emphasizing on employing mobile agents to assist vertical handover decisions in 4G mainly because it reduce consumption of network bandwidth, delay in network latency and the time taken to complete a particular task in PMIPv6 environment is minimized as well. However, when more than the desired number of mobile nodes is attached to the PMIPv6 domain including a particular MAG, the MAG gets overload. In fact, with this increasing load, the end-to-end transmission delay and the number of packet loss also increases. Since the number of mobile users and the associated applications are increasing exponentially, the problem stated above is obvious. Yet, the current specification of PMIPv6 does not provide any solution for this problem. Thus, this work extends the previous works wherein the employment of mobile agents in PMIPv6 has been justified but no efforts have been put towards reducing and hence balancing the load of overloaded MAG. The paper proposes a skilful load balancing scheme for the PMIPv6 network to balance the load over MAGs in the domain.
