SIFM: A network architecture for seamless flow mobility between LTE and WiFi networks - Analysis and Testbed Implementation

Dhathri R. Purohith, Krishna M. Sivalingam

摘要:

本文论述了蜂窝(例如LTE)网络,选择性地卸载到WiFi(IEEE 802.11)网络的移动数据流量,以提高网络性能。我们提出了无缝互联网络流移动性(SIFM)架构,提供无缝的流移动性支持使用软件定义网络(SDN)的概念。SDN范式将控制和数据平面合并,从而实现集中式网络智能和状态。SIFM架构利用SDN的这一方面,并将移动性决策移动到集中式流控制器(FC)。这在做出移动性决策的同时提供了全局网络视图,并且还降低了PGW处的复杂性。我们实现和评估基本的PMIPv 6和SIFM架构,将突出的LTE和WiFi网络功能的NS-3模拟器。性能实验验证了无缝移动性的实现。此外,与基本PMIPv 6架构相比,SIFM架构显示出改进的网络性能。SIFM架构的概念验证原型已经在实验测试平台上实现。LTE网络通过将USRP B210 x与OpenLTE eNodeB和OpenLTE EPC集成来仿真。WiFi网络是使用运行在Ubuntu 12.04上的hostapd和dnsmasq守护进程模拟的。使用运行Android 4.2.2的现成LG G2手机作为用户设备。我们展示了LTE网络和WiFi网络之间的无缝移动性的帮助下,移动和TCP聊天应用程序。

英文摘要:

This paper deals with cellular (e.g. LTE) networks that selectively offload the mobile data traffic onto WiFi (IEEE 802.11) networks to improve network performance. We propose the Seamless Internetwork Flow Mobility (SIFM) architecture that provides seamless flow-mobility support using concepts of Software Defined Networking (SDN). The SDN paradigm decouples the control and data plane, leading to a centralized network intelligence and state. The SIFM architecture utilizes this aspect of SDN and moves the mobility decisions to a centralized Flow Controller (FC). This provides a global network view while making mobility decisions and also reduces the complexity at the PGW. We implement and evaluate both basic PMIPv6 and the SIFM architectures by incorporating salient LTE and WiFi network features in the ns-3 simulator. Performance experiments validate that seamless mobility is achieved. Also, the SIFM architecture shows an improved network performance when compared to the base PMIPv6 architecture. A proof-of-concept prototype of the SIFM architecture has been implemented on an experimental testbed. The LTE network is emulated by integrating USRP B210x with the OpenLTE eNodeB and OpenLTE EPC. The WiFi network is emulated using hostapd and dnsmasq daemons running on Ubuntu 12.04. An off-the-shelf LG G2 mobile phone running Android 4.2.2 is used as the user equipment. We demonstrate seamless mobility between the LTE network and the WiFi network with the help of ICMP ping and a TCP chat application.
