mSCTP and CHORD Based Seamless Mobility Over Wireless IP Networks

This work propose a decentralized mobility framework based on the multihoming feature of stream control transmission protocol (SCTP) and decentralized property of distributed hash table CHORD. Mobility feature in SCTP provides the necessary handover management, while the efficient key-value of CHORD facilitates the seamless mobility through efficient location management. Besides technical advantages, end users will gain added functionalities and flexibility from the proposed mobility framework.
