Ground based lisp for multilink operation in ATN/IPS communication infrastructure

Abstract

This paper provides an IPv6 mobility and multi-link solution proposed in SESAR project P15.02.04. It is based on the Locator/Identifier Separation Protocol with the goal to minimize the complexity in the aircraft and the overhead in the A/G datalinks. This solution is a ground based network solution, where all the routing and mobility functionalities are necessary only in network equipment on ground, fully transparent for all end systems. The scope of the ground based LISP solution is the global mobility management, i.e. it covers the vertical handover between different A/G data links and handovers between different mobility service providers.
