Description
As a common technique many mobility solutions introduce a level of indirection in the network (e.g. the 'Home Anchor' in Mobile IPv6 or the 'Local Mobility Anchor' in Proxy Mobile IPv6) which leads to routing inefficiencies. The goal of this thesis/project is to evaluate a number of mobility solutions with regards to their routing performance under different scenarios and network topologies.
Bachelor Thesis or 3 Months Student Project
- Evaluation of two to three common mobility solutions using simulations or alternatively a mathematical model
Master Thesis or 6 Months Student Project
Scope of the 'Bachelor Thesis or 3 Months Student Project' (see above) plus
- Evaluation of additional approaches from current research
- Development and validation of a generic model to evaluate routing performance of different indirection models
- Optionally (if the student is interested): Working towards a scientific publication of the results of the work
Required Skills
- Basic knowledge in computer networking and routing
- Programming skills or alternatively mathematical modeling skills
