Abstract

Network mobility (NEMO) management is concerned about the mobility management of an entire wireless mobile network to provide uninterrupted network connectivity to many mobile devices moving together in the mobile network. This is particularly important for ubiquitous computing, which commonly means anytime, anywhere computing and communication. Most of the 3G and entire 4G and beyond wireless communication technology is all-IP. This growing use of IP devices in portable applications has created the demand for mobility support for entire networks of IP devices. NEMO solves this problem by extending Mobile IP. Devices on a mobile network are unaware of their network’s mobility; however, they are provided with uninterrupted Internet access even when the network changes its attachment point to the Internet. The main objective of NEMO is to provide continuous, optimal, and secure Internet access to all nodes and even recursively nested mobile sub-nets inside a moving network. Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is engaged in standardizing NEMO Basic Support protocol that ensures uninterrupted connectivity to nodes within a mobile network via a mobile router. This protocol extends the mechanisms utilized in the host mobility management protocol Mobile IPv6. There are few open problems remain to be addressed in NEMO. In this chapter, we discuss about NEMO basic support protocols, its features, and other related issues.
