P-SIGMA: Paging in End to End Mobility Management

Paging is a well established technique to reduce signalling cost in mobile devices. Different proposals in literature have shown the implementation and improvement of Mobile IP with paging. Here we propose P-SIGMA, an improved and signalling cost-effective version of SIGMA, an IP diversity based end-to-end mobility scheme. We show that with all the benefits of end-to-end mobility management scheme like SIGMA, P-SIGMA, as a mobility management scheme, is more efficient in terms of l3ocation management and is more cost effective in terms of signalling load.
