- Abstract
Multi-level mobile anchor points (MAP) architecture is deployed in large-scale wireless/mobile networks using HMIPv6 to achieve better mobility service, while selecting the most suitable serving MAP for the mobile nodes (MNs) to enhance the whole network performance has been a critical issue. An adaptive MAP selection based on active overload prevention (MAP-AOP) hence is proposed. The MAP periodically evaluates the load status by using dynamic weighted load evaluation algorithm, and then sends the load information to the covered access routers (AR) by using the expanded routing advertisement message in a dynamic manner. Taking achieving the load balancing among the available MAPs, the current serving AR executes the active overload prevention to select MAP candidates for the MN pending a handover, and then adaptively selects an optimal one from the candidates by comprehensively considering the system cost and the average handover latency caused by each candidate. The simulation conducted on the NS-2 platform indicates that MAP-AOP outperforms the comparative MAP selection schemes with the optimized system cost and average handover latency, and better load balancing.
