Performance evaluation of IDMP's QoS framework

Intra-Domain, Mobility Management Protocol (EDMP) has been recently proposed as a protocol for managing IP mobility within a cellular access network. This papere valuates thep erformance of IDMP's Quality of Service (QoS) framework, which uses a modified form of the. Differentiated Servicesa rchitecture, with a centralized Bandwidth Broker performing admission control and resource provisioning for different traffic classes. While experimental results demonstrate that our. IDMP-based QoS mechanism is able to support differential performance guaran I tees for mobile users with fairly low-latency overheads,a nalyticald erivationss how that thisQ oS support can be achieved with only a marginal increase in the signaling cost.
