Mobility Management

Part of the book series: Signals and Communication Technology ((SCT))

Abstract

This chapter is dedicated to transport-layer mobility support schemes, which follow an end-to-end philosophy, putting the notion of mobility at the end nodes, and without any requirements on network infrastructure devices such as routers and servers.  The existing schemes are introduced, along with explanations of their technical principles. The mSCTP (mobile Stream Control Transmission Protocol) is chosen as a representative mobility management protocol at transport layer with a detailed introduction and in-depth analysis.
