Abstract :
In this paper a novel mobility management scheme is proposed that is based on optical packet switching. Optical Packet based Mobility Management (OPMM) is proved to be more efficient for mobile traffic transport compared to conventional GPRS Tunneling Protocol (GTP) regarding packet overhead, transport latency and energy consumption. Meanwhile, OPMM reduces the complexity of the mobility management procedure. The system design is validated in a simulator and the performance is compared with the standard 3GPP implementation in realistic scenarios with a reference architecture.
