Combining mobility and heterogeneous networking for emergency management: a PMIPv6 and HIP-based approach

Emergency Management is an important topic for research community worldwide, especially after recent major disasters. The problem of supporting mobility at the disaster site to rescue teams equipped with different heterogeneous access technologies and providing interoperability between different agencies and jurisdictions is still under investigation. In this work we propose to merge the advantages of IPv6 micro-mobility management of Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) with macro-mobility management, security, inter-technology handover and multi-homing features of Host Identity Protocol (HIP). This new approach applied to our proposed ad-hoc satellite and wireless mesh system architecture for emergency mobile communications can improve mobility, security, reliability and interoperability in Emergency Management domain.
