Handover of a mobile device in an information centric network

摘要

A method in a first content centric networking (CCN) access point of a CCN network of enabling seamless mobility of a mobile device is disclosed. The method includes detecting a handover initiation event that is an indication that a handover of the mobile device from the first CCN access point to a second CCN access point from a group of one or more CCN access points of the CCN network is initiated. In response to detecting the handover initiation event, the method continues with starting transmission, to the group of CCN access points, of one or more pending interests associated with the mobile device. The method further includes detecting a handover completion event, and stopping, in response to detecting the handover completion event, the transmission of the one or more pending interests associated with the mobile device.

1. A method in a first Content Centric Networking (CCN) access point of a CCN network of enabling seamless mobility of a mobile device in the CCN network, the method comprising:
detecting a handover initiation event, wherein the handover initiation event is an indication that a handover of the mobile device from the first CCN access point to a second CCN access point from a group of one or more CCN access points of the CCN network is initiated; responsive to detecting the handover initiation event, starting transmission, to the group of CCN access points, of one or more pending interests associated with the mobile device, wherein the one or more pending interests are stored as one or more entries of a pending interest table (PIT) in the first CCN access point; detecting a handover completion event; and stopping, in response to detecting the handover completion event, the transmission of the one or more pending interests associated with the mobile device.
