SITILabs-OP-2012-3: 1 Researcher Position: September

 

2012-August 2013

 

This position relates to work in the field of mobility management - distributed mobility management, project UMM - User-centric Mobility Management.

Currently, the most popular solutions for global mobility management have in common a model where a centralized and static “mobility anchor point” is in charge of keeping some form of association between previous and current identities for a mobile node that roams across different networks. In user-provided networks, these models should rely on a distributed architecture which raises the need to develop efficient anchor selection mechanisms based on reputation models, as well as models providing incentives to be a mobility anchor point. Moreover, time availability of mobility anchor points may be short in the presence of mobile connectivity access points. This poses an extra stress on seamless mobility mechanisms, which may need to perform handovers more often. Nevertheless, the impact on seamless mobility depends considerable on mobility patterns of mobile users (e.g. mobile users may follow the same movement of their current mobility anchor.

The candidate will be in the category of Researcher working at IAN - Internet Architectures and Networking.

 

Requirements:

- at least an MSc degreein informatics engineering, information systems, or similar.
