Abstract
We propose a networking model that treats a user's set of personal devices as a MObile grouPEd Device, a MOPED, which appears as a single entity to the rest of the Internet. All communication for a user is directed to this point of presence. As the user moves through different environments, the devices cooperate to provide the user with access to all available communication resources. We present the basic networking functionality necessary to enable the operation of MOPEDs and their integration into the Internet. We introduce a middleware layer to extend IP routing to work with MOPEDs and a lightweight IP encapsulation protocol, Multipath Routing enCAPsulation (MRCAP), used to implement that middleware.

A Mobility Management Architecture for IPv4/IPv6 Networks
CYBERC '12: Proceedings of the 2012 International Conference on Cyber-Enabled Distributed Computing and Knowledge DiscoveryIETF has specified Mobile IPv4 and Mobile IPv6 in RFC3344 and RFC3775 respectively, but not yet discussed Mobile IPv4/v6 in any published RFC. This paper proposes a solution to Mobile IPv4/v6 problems and gives an example when Home Agent(HA)located in ...
Improved IPv6 mobility architecture in IPv4 networks
EHAC'08: Proceedings of the 7th WSEAS International Conference on Electronics, Hardware, Wireless and Optical CommunicationsThe lack of IP address space and the features in IPv6 force the mobile environment march towards Mobile IPv6. However, the current Mobile IP protocol is supported only when the Mobile Node (MN) moves within networks of the same IP version because the ...
