Abstract

Distributed Mobility Management (DMM) protocol is proposed to address the shortcomings of centralized mobility management protocols. In DMM, unlike centralized protocols, flows can be routed optimally in the network by dynamic IP address allocation, which can yield lower signaling and packet delivery costs. In this paper, we introduce an SDN based mobility management service with multiple controllers called Hierarchical Software Defined Distributed Mobility Management (HSD-DMM). In contrast to standard DMM which is proposed for flat architectures, HSD-DMM uses a dynamic anchor point selection method for each flow in a hierarchical mobile network architecture. The main condition in selecting an anchor point is packet delivery cost reduction based on collaboration of multiple controllers responsible for different tiers of the hierarchy. Numerical analysis results reveal that HSD-DMM can decrease signaling and packet delivery cost compared to an SDN based standard DMM solution.
