1 Recall Routing in Fixed IP Networks

The document discusses routing protocols and mobility management in wireless networks. It addresses: 1) The problems with using standard IP routing protocols for mobile communications 2) Why quick solutions like always using the closest router don't fully address the issues 3) The requirements for a mobile IP protocol and whether it fulfills them all 4) The entities involved in mobile IP and how data is transferred between mobile and fixed nodes, including the need for encapsulation

1 Recall routing in fixed IP networks (Kurose, 2003).

Name the
consequences
and problems of using IP together with the standard routing
protocols for
mobile communications.

2 What could be quick ‘solutions’ and why don’t they work?

3 Name the requirements for a mobile IP and justify them. Does


mobile IP fulfill
them all?

4 List the entities of mobile IP and describe data transfer from a


mobile node to a
fixed node and vice versa. Why and where is encapsulation
needed?

5 How does registration on layer 3 of a mobile node work?

6 Show the steps required for a handover from one foreign agent
to another foreign
agent including layer 2 and layer 3.

7 Explain packet flow if two mobile nodes communicate and


both are in foreign networks.
What additional routes do packets take if reverse tunneling is
required?
8 Explain how tunneling works in general and especially for
mobile IP using IP-in-IP,
minimal, and generic routing encapsulation, respectively.
Discuss the advantages
and disadvantages of these three methods.
9 Name the inefficiencies of mobile IP regarding data
forwarding from a correspondent
node to a mobile node. What are optimizations and what
additional
problems do they cause?
10 What advantages does the use of IPv6 offer for mobility?
Where are the entities
of mobile IP now?
11 What are general problems of mobile IP regarding security
and support of quality
of service?
12 What is the basic purpose of DHCP? Name the entities of
DHCP.
13 How can DHCP be used for mobility and support of mobile
IP?
14 Name the main differences between multi-hop ad-hoc
networks and other
networks. What advantages do these ad-hoc networks offer?
15 Why is routing in multi-hop ad-hoc networks complicated,
what are the
special challenges?
16 Recall the distance vector and link state routing algorithms
for fixed networks.
Why are both difficult to use in multi-hop ad-hoc networks?
Mobile network layer 345
17 What are the differences between AODV and the standard
distance vector
algorithm? Why are extensions needed?
18 How does dynamic source routing handle routing? What is
the motivation behind
dynamic source routing compared to other routing algorithms
from fixed networks?
19 How does the symmetry of wireless links influence the
routing algorithms proposed?
20 Why are special protocols for the support of micro mobility
on the network
layer needed?
21 What are the benefits of location information for routing in
ad-hoc networks,
which problems arise?
22 Think of ad-hoc networks with fast moving nodes, e.g., cars
in a city. What problems
arise even for the routing algorithms adapted to ad-hoc
networks? What is
the situation on highways?
