CIMS: The Columbia IP Micro-mobility Suite. NS Source Code Distribution for Cellular IP, Hawaii and Hierarchical Mobile IP, April 2001 The Cellular IP implementation supports hard and semi-soft handoff, and IP paging. The Hawaii implementation supports unicast non-forwarding (UNF) and multiple stream forwarding (MSF) schemes. Hawaii's IP paging capability is currently not supported. In addition, the CIMS v1.0 implementation of Hierarchical Mobile IP does not currently support IP paging. These and other features will be added to the next release of the code - we would be happy to add other extensions developed by other groups too.Cellular IP: Source Code Distribution for Cellular IP Version 1.0, November 1999
Cellular IP inherits cellular systems principles for mobility management, passive connectivity and handoff control, but is designed based on the IP paradigm. The universal component of a Cellular IP network is the base station which serves as a wireless access point but at the same time routes IP packets and integrates cellular control functionality traditionally found in Mobile Switching Centers (MSC) and Base Station Controllers (BSC). The base stations are built on regular IP forwarding engines, but IP routing is replaced by Cellular IP routing and location management. The Cellular IP network is connected to the Internet via a gateway router. Mobility between gateways (i.e., Cellular IP access networks) is managed by Mobile IP while mobility within access networks is handled by Cellular IP. Mobile hosts attached to the network use the IP address of the gateway as their Mobile IP care-of address.
MOBIWARE: Toolkit Version 1.0, july 1998 Source Code
Mobiware is based on a methodology of open programmability for the introduction, control and management of new adaptive mobile services. It provides a set of open programmable CORBA interfaces and objects that abstract and represent network
devices and resources providing a toolkit for programmable signaling, adaptation management and wireless transport services. Mobiware aims to provide a foundation for open programmable mobile networking that is suited toward managing the evolving service demands of adaptive mobile applications and dealing with the inherent complexity of delivering scalable audio and video and real-time services to mobile devices. Built on an adaptive quality of service API, mobiware consists of a set of controllers that interact with transport, network and medium access controller distributed objects that maintain application-specific adaptive quality of service needs.
