Proof-of-concept for a novel management mobility framework for point to point radio communication in wireless networks

In this paper the authors present the results of a prototype implemented based on previous concept studies: a novel mobility management framework with functions for built-in verification of configuration changes and for fault tolerance. This mechanism is required for increased network stability, to prevent the data loss, inadequate changes and to ensure that the moving user stays connected even in a busy network environment. The scope of this paper is to propose a proof of concept study in order to demonstrate the reliability and the superiority of the new architecture when compared to the traditional peer-to-peer (P2P) model. The paper deals with the implementation of the algorithm for fault tolerance and functions for updating the network configuration against all unexpected changes. The advantage of this approach is that the fault rate is extremely decreased, the data flow is constant, time is saved, the client´s performance is increased and the server load is reduced. The mobility framework is implemented in Java using OMNET++ platform as a simulation environment.
