Predictive mobility support with secure context management for vehicular users

Abstract

This paper presents a predictive mobility management framework with the secure context management in mobile networks. We devised the authentication method for seamless handovers that exploit the knowledge of the mobility prediction. Previous Access Router (AR) forwards the pre-established context information to the new AR in the predicted target wireless cell where MN might move in the near future. Therefore the context for autonomous services is available in the right place at right time. © 2007 International Federation for Information Processing.
