Abstract: Mobility management with centralized mobility anchoring in existing hierarchical mobile networks is quite prone to sub optimal routing and issues related to scalability.?Centralized functions present a single point of failure, and inevitably introduce longer delays and higher signaling loads for network operations related to mobility management. To make matters worse, there are numerous variants of Mobile IP in addition to other protocols standardized outside the IETF, making it much more difficult to create economical and interoperable solutions. The existing mobility management standards in IETF, the issues of mobility management for the future mobile Internet, the trend of the mobile Internet and the proposed distributed mobility at IETF are explained.

Biography:
H. Anthony Chan received his PhD in physics at University of Maryland, College Park in 1982 and then continued post-doctorate research there in basic science. After joining the former AT&T Bell Labs in 1986, his work moved to industry-oriented research in areas of interconnection, electronic packaging, reliability, and assembly in manufacturing, and then moved again to network management, network architecture and standards for both wireless and wireline networks. He was the AT&T delegate in several standards work groups under 3GPP. He moved to academia as professor at University of Cape Town in 2004, and moved again to industry research as he joined Huawei Technologies in 2007. His current research is in emerging broadband wireless network technologies. He contributed to mobility standards in both IETF and IEEE and is the editor of an IETF DMM Working Group draft on the requirements on distributed mobility management
Dr. Chan is a Fellow of IEEE, chair of IEEE Standard 802.21c Task Group on Single Radio Handover Optimization, Vice-chair of IEEE standard 802.21 Working Group on Media Independent Handover. He is currently a Distinguished Speaker of IEEE Communication Society and a Distinguisher Speaker of IEEE Reliability Society.
