Abstract
With the increasing number of wireless devices, the importance of mobility management in future mobile networks is growing. In addition, the number of access technologies available to those wireless devices is more diversified, leading to further heterogeneity and the need for convergence of mobility management solutions. Furthermore, traditional mobility management solutions, which are based on client/server paradigms, suffer from the shortcoming of such centralized solutions (single point of failure, congestion, bottlenecks). With the initial success of peer-to-peer for file sharing applications, and based on our previous attempt to exploit its benefits by proposing novel horizontal mobility management schemes, we examine in this paper the potential of peer-to-peer for vertical mobility management. We also perform extensive simulations to quantify the performance of our proposed peer-to-peer vertical mobility management scheme.Keywords
