Simulating mobile IPv6 with ns-3

Abstract

Evolving mobile communication technologies like the Evolved Packet Core (EPC), specified by 3GPP, aim to incorporate more distinct access technologies. While mobility management and QoS aspects are consistently defined for 3GPP technologies, not all non-3GPP networks are integrated smoothly. This work aims, using close to reality simulations with ns-3, to help understand the mechanisms used for the network aspect described above, identify its problems and develop new approaches in resolving them.
