Admission control scheme for Proxy Mobile IPv6 networks

Abstract

This paper's central aim is to address the issue of resource management at the Local Mobility Anchors (LMA) in the Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) networks. A class-based admission control is proposed to improve the bottleneck effect caused by triangular routing in PMIPv6, where resource units are rationed amongst different classes of traffic according to their QoS requirements. The PMIPv6 network is modeled as an M/M/m/m tandem queuing network with two types (classes) of arrival process and an analytical model is presented. Performance of our proposed admission control scheme is evaluated through simulation and results are compared to the case where no distinction in terms of resource unit allocation between classes of traffic was considered.
