Handover
Nomadism: “Ability of the user to change his network access point on moving; when changing the
network access point, the user's service session is completely stopped and then started again, i.e.,
there is no session continuity or handover possible. It is assumed that normal usage pattern is that
users shutdown their service session before moving to another access point.” Definition from
ETSI/TISPAN
Session Continuity: “The ability of a user or terminal to change the network access point while
maintaining the ongoing session. This may include a session break and resume, or a certain degree of
service interruption or loss of data while changing to the new access point.”. Definition from
ETSI/TISPAN.
Continuous Mobility: “The ability of a mobile user/terminal/network to change location while media
streams are active”. Definition from ITU-T.

Seamless Handover
Roaming: “This is the ability of the users to access services according their user profile while moving
outside of their subscribed home network, i.e. by using an access point of a visited network. This requires
the ability of the user to get access in the visited network, the existence of an interface between home
network and visited network, as well as a roaming agreement between the respective network operators.”.
Definition from ETSI/TISPAN.
 Roaming requires business (in the first place) agreement between Home
and Visited Networks.
 Various modes of mobility can be managed during Roaming
 Roaming is an orthogonal notion to Nomadism, Session Continuity,
Continuous Mobility, …

Standard Internet mobility methods
SIP & MIP

Standard SIP mobility
RFC 3261 – re-INVITE
 RFC 3515 – REFER
 Explicit signalling of IP address, ports, codec changes to the
communication peer

Muse confidential
Standard SIP mobility summary
Advantages
Drawbacks
Application layer solution - works
across operators’ boundaries
No continuous mobility
Personal, Terminal, Session, Service
mobility support
Privacy is not guaranteed
IP version agostic
Access network agnostic
Incorporated by 3GPP as a call
control protocol
Provides AAA functionalities

Candidate protocol for mobility management in FMC
 Need for SIP mobility enhancements
Muse confidential
Mobile IP
RFC 3344 & 3024 – MIPv4 & Reverse Tunnelling
 RFC 3775 – MIPv6
 Generic network layer mobility management solution
 Hide IP address changes from the applications and
communications peer


Mobile Node (MN) is always reachable by means of the single
Home Address (HoA)
 MN uses IP address assigned by the foreign (visited) network
to enable IP routing -> Care-of-Address (CoA)
 Home Agent (HA) takes care of the the HoA to CoA binding
Muse confidential
Flavours of MIP

MIP client implemented in the MN
 MN is MIP-aware
MN terminates MIP signalling
o MN terminates IP-in-IP tunnel
o
 MIPv4
 MIPv6
 DS-MIPv4
 DS-MIPv6

MIP client is implemented in the network (Proxy Mobile Agent)
 MN is MIP-unaware
MIP signalling terminated at PMA
o IP-in-IP tunnel terminated at PMA
o
 PMIPv4
 PMIPv6

Real-time services (e.g. VoIP) require handover disruption time
to be less that 400ms (ITU-T G.114)
 Neither standard SIP nor MIP do assure such behaviour

Enhanced SIP mobility
Session Border Controller (SBC) is the solution’s central
network element
 SBC represents the combination of the P-CSCF and C-BGF
IMS functions:

 P-CSCF
o
B2BUA
 C-BGF
NAT
o RTP proxy
o Conferencing module
o

Key concepts
 SIP controlled IP Soft Handover
 SBCs Daisy Chaining
Muse confidential
SIP controlled IP Soft Handover

Soft handover
 Definition: „The service with the target BS starts before
disconnection of the service with the previous serving BS” (IEEE
Std 802.16e-2005)
 During transition from one BS to another, multihomed terminal is
simultaneously connected to both BSs.

SBC handles the traffic during handover (conferencing module)
 SBC sends duplicated IP traffic downstream via both network
interfaces
 SBC filters and mixes received upstream IP traffic

Application Service (AS) controls mobility
 instructs SBC to activate RTP proxy and conferencing module

Multihomed terminal
Muse confidential
SBCs Daisy Chaining

SBCs Daisy Chain
 When terminal moves from one network served by one SBC to
another network served by different SBC, IP Soft Handover
capable SBCs are Daisy Chained to provide continuous mobility

Application Service (AS) controls mobility
 Sets up Daisy Chain
 IP Soft Handover is kept operational

MIP-based mobility summary

3GPP Release 6 (I-WLAN) provides nomadic access only
 3GPP Release 8 (SAE) aims session continuity for non-3GPP
access networks
 PMIPv6 pushed by 3GPP
 Network based mobility
 Support for non-MIP enabled terminals
 Architectural similarities to GTP

SAE architecture is still a „moving target”
Muse confidential
Mobility management for FMC summary

Mobility management is the key enabler for FMC
 Two approaches:
 SIP-based for IMS services
Novel access network architecture (standard SIP protocol)
o Mobility enabler for fixed networks
o Facilitates integration with IMS
o
 MIP-based for all (including IMS) services
Supported by 3GPP standardization
o Facilitates mobility support for legacy terminals (PMIP)
o

Generic mechanisms for session continuity will increase both
terminal and network complexity and entail large investments
 It is still to be justified
