A Study on a Routing-Based Mobility Management Architecture for IoT Devices

Abstract

How the mobile Internet accommodates a huge number of IoT devices is an important research challenge since their number grows to several billions. An important observation about IoT device communications is that IoT devices have different characteristics in mobility from traditional mobile devices such as cellular phones. Strict mobility management scheme and session mobility provided by handover functions are not required for the IoT device mobility management. In this paper, we focus on IoT communication features, and propose a routing-based mobility architecture for them. Our routing architecture uses the Bloom Filter as a data structure to store routing information. We clarify the effectiveness of our routing architecture in IoT environments.
