Abstract: Provided is a fast handover method using candidate care-of addresses (CoAs). The method includes obtaining Internet protocol (IP) address information of access routers located adjacent to a previous access router (PAR) to which a mobile node is connected; setting more than one candidate CoAs based on the IP address information; and selecting from the more than one candidate CoAs a CoA of a sub-net to which the mobile node is to move and performing a handover based on the selected CoA. Therefore, a delay and a packet loss caused by the setting of a new NCoAs can be prevented.

Abstract: A bootstrapping method and system in a mobile network using a Diameter-based protocol are provided. The bootstrapping system includes; a mobile node, connecting to a local network, which creates and transmits an AAA request message; and a home AAA server of a home network, which authenticates the mobile node based on the AAA request message received through a local AAA server of the local network, allocates a home agent and a home address relating to the mobile node, transmits the address of the home agent and the home address along with Internet key exchange (IKE) phase 1 security key material to the mobile node, and transmits an IKE phase 1 security key to the home agent, wherein the mobile node generates the IKE phase 1 security key using the IKE phase 1 security key material, distributes IP security (IPsec) security agreement (SA) with the home agent using IKE phase 2, and performs a binding update with the home agent using distributed IPsec SA.

Abstract: A network apparatus and packet routing method for ubiquitous computing are provided. In the network apparatus, a movement detection unit detects movement from a first network to a second network, and a movement address setting unit generates care-of-address (CoA) information corresponding to prefix information of the second network. A movement registration unit registers a movement address by transmitting a binding update message containing the generated CoA and home address (HoA) mapping information, to a home agent. A resource setting unit registers information on current terminal apparatuses among network terminal apparatuses on the second network. A packet distribution unit distributes the received packet to a current terminal apparatus corresponding to the application characteristic of the packet received from the home agent based on the information on the current terminal apparatuses.
