Background and motivation
Mobile data is literally growing exponentially Smartphones generate much more traffic than plain old mobile phones Mobile operators are starting to offload mobile traffic to WiFi networks and deploy local Content Delivery Network Standardization for mobile data offload is underway in other SDOs 3GPP LIPA/SIPTO This issue is not only for one SDO, but for the whole Internet Renovate the conventional mobile network More distributed and scalable model IETF79 MEXT WG

Where to distribute…? HA/LMA AR/FA/MAG AP MH Core-level Mobile Core
Network AR/FA/MAG AR-level Access Network AP Access-level MH Host-level IETF79 MEXT WG
4
Core-level distribution
Internet Keep existing hierarchy Traffic and mobility bindings are distributed over HA/LMAs Handover, signaling and/or routing may be needed between HAs/LMAs Core-level HA/LMA HA/LMA HA/LMA AR/FA/MAG AR/FA/MAG AR/FA/MAG AR-level AP AP AP MH MH IETF79 MEXT WG
5
AR-level distribution
Role of HA/LMA is regressed Traffic and mobility bindings are distributed over ARs Signaling and routing needed between ARs Internet HA/LMA AR-level AR/FA/MAG AR/FA/MAG AR/FA/MAG AP AP AP MH MH IETF79 MEXT WG
6
Access-level distribution
Role of mobile core is regressed Part of AR functionality is combined with AP Access Node (AN) =AP+AR Distribute traffic and mobility bindings over ANs Signaling and routing needed between ANs Internet HA/LMA FA/MAG Access-level AN AN AN MH MH IETF79 MEXT WG
7
Host-level distribution
Peer-to-peer communication between MHs More independent of the mobile network Signaling and routing needed between MHs Internet Mobile Core Access NW Host-level MH MH IETF79 MEXT WG

How to distribute…? Possible approaches for Distributed Mobility Management Partially distributed approach Fully distributed approach IETF79 MEXT WG
9
Partially distributed approach (I)
Control and data plane separation Control plane: Centralized Data plane: Distributed Control Function Registration Registration Route Setup Route Setup MA MA MA MA MA MH1 MH2 MA: Mobility Anchor IETF79 MEXT WG
10
Partially distributed approach (II)
Dynamic mobility management Mobility is provided on demand MH CH1 CH2 MH CHn MH1 mobility binding MH1 mobility binding IP2 AR1 AR2 IP1 IP1 MH MH MH1 MH1 MHn IETF79 MEXT WG
11
Fully distributed approach
Both control and data planes are distributed MA MA MA MA MA MH1 MH2 MA: Mobility Anchor (including control function) Dynamic mobility management also applies Selection of the appropriate mobility anchor is an issue IETF79 MEXT WG 11
12
Mobility anchor selection in fully distributed approach
Ex.1: broadcast/multicast approach No routing is needed Good for regional area, probably not for global MA MA MA MA MA MH1 MH2 IETF79 MEXT WG
13
Mobility anchor selection in fully distributed approach (cont’d)
Ex.2: Search & delivery Efficient look-up mechanisms exist, but still takes time to discover the corresponding MA scalability issue could remain MA MA MA MA MA MH1 MH2 IETF79 MEXT WG
14
Analysis and proposal More flat architecture is preferred for effective distribution Flexible and manageable routing is needed for selective traffic offload AR/Access-level distribution Scalability must be considered Partially distributed approach is likely to be more practical so far IETF79 MEXT WG
