1 • Mobile IP has several problems with regards to the duration of handover and the scalability of the
318 registration procedure.

• IP mobility protocols can complement mobile IP by offering fast and consistent handover control
in limited geographical areas. One among such is Cellular IP.

• Cellular IP provides local handovers without renewed registration by installing a single cellular IP
gateway (CIPGW) for each domain, which acts to the foreign world as a foreign agent (FA).

• Inside this domain, each node collect routing information for accessing MNs based on origin of
packets sent by the MNs toward the CIPGW.

• Soft handover is achieved by allowing simultaneous forwarding of packets destined for a mobile
node along multiple paths. (Soft handover means that during handover, the connection is
transferred slowly. Step by step; whereas in hard handover- the old connection is stopped abruptly

and new one is started suddenly).

• Thus because of a soft handover, mobile node moving between adjacent cells will temporarily be
able to receive packets from the old as well as new BS (if such a feature is allowed by the lower
layers).

• The architecture of Cellular IP is simple, elegant and is self-configuring in most conditions.

• Cellular IP requires changes to the basic mobile IP protocol and is not transparent to existing
systems.

• The major advantage of Cellular IP is it manageability.

1. Cellular IP is mostly self-configuring and integration of CIPGW with a firewall would help
facilitate better mobility administration.

• It also brings along with it its own disadvantages which include:

1. Transparency: The Mobile Nodes needs to be re-configured as Cellular IP is not transparent

to existing systems.
2. Efficiency: By forwarding a packet in multiple paths, we are introducing additional network
load.
3. Security: A system in the network can obtain a copy of all packets meant for an MN by
sending packets with MN’s source address to CIPGW. (Based on 4th point from above.).
