HIP-based network mobility management for WSN

Abstract

Group mobility in WSN is of particular importance as it is can be found in many practical application scenarios. In this paper, we propose to combine HIP and NEMO protocol for supporting group mobility in WSN. The overview of HIP and NEMO protocol is introduced and the new network architecture for applying HIP and NEMO protocol in WSN is proposed, which enhances mobility management, network security and host multi-homing for WSN. The corresponding group mobility management mechanism and signaling process are discussed.
