The mobility of wireless users has created a number of technological challenges, especially when a Mobile Node (MN) changes the point of attachment to the network. In recent years, a great deal of research effort has been spent on the issue of mobility, and resulted in development of general frameworks as well as specific protocols supporting mobility. These frameworks and protocols are intended to solve the problem of IP routing (i.e. finding an IP path) to the MN. Typically, the access network may also establish and keep service state information (service context) necessary to process and forward packets in a way that suits specific service requirements. Context Transfer has been suggested as an alternative way of restoring the service context at the new access network. / Thesis (PhDTelecommunications)--University of South Australia, 2005.
