Cellular networks have been hierarchical so that mobility management have primarily been
deployed in a centralized architecture. More flattened network architecture for the mobile …

The Internet as a platform for ubiquitous communication has quickly advanced in the last
years. New services have emphasized the limits of the current Internet and motivated the …

Interworking mechanisms are of prime importance to achieve ubiquitous access and
seamless mobility in heterogeneous wireless networks. In this article we develop a …

This work presents a comprehensive and structured taxonomy of available techniques for
managing the handover process in mobility architectures. Representative works from the …

In this paper, we analyze the performance of vertical handover (VHO) algorithms for
seamless mobility between WiFi and UMTS networks. We focus on a no-coupling scenario …

For Web-based applications in Internet of Things (IoT) environment, the IETF CoRE Working
Group developed the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP). A limitation of CoAP is that it …

Abstract The combination of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Wireless Mesh
Network (WMN) is challenging due to the different natures of both concepts. SDN describes …

Most of the current mobility management protocols such as Mobile IP and its variants
standardized by the IETF may not be suitable to support mobility management for Web …

Rapid progress in software, hardware, mobile networks, and the potential of interactive
media poses many questions for researchers, manufacturers, and operators of wireless …

With the increasing demands for new data and real-time services, wireless networks should
support calls with different traffic characteristics and different Quality of Service (QoS) …
