Routing groups in ambient networking

Published: 25 October 2006 Publication History

Abstract

In this paper we discuss aggregated mobility patterns and physical proximity of nodes within Ambient Networks, where an Ambient Network can be described as a network that integrates heterogeneous nodes and access techniques. We illustrate how awareness of node mobility patterns can be used to identify groups of nodes moving together, and how this grouping can be used to decrease signaling overhead, for example the signaling associated with a mobility event, and increase transmission efficiency. First, we describe the architectural and naming issues associated with this concept and discuss a number of mobility optimizations that can be applied to these moving networks. Further, we introduce algorithms that can recognize the presence of a routing group to enable the use of routing and mobility optimizations. Finally, we assess the performance and benefits of the routing group approach by means of simulation.
