A novel Middleware for the Mobility Management Over the Internet
The features of mobility, which enormously impact on how communication is evolving into the future, represent a particular challenge in todaypsilas wireless networking research. After an identification and evaluation of the gap between the discontinuities of the communication service inherent to the physical layer of mobile networks and the continuity requirements issue from the stream centric multimedia applications, we propose a novel middleware 3MOI (Middleware for the Mobility Management Over the Internet) which can support efficient and context-aware mobility management and satisfy new mobility requirements such as dynamical location management, fast handover, and continuous connection support.
