Abstract

Within the coming decade, there will be a dramatic increase in the availability of inexpensive, computational powerful mobile devices running applications which use the Internet Protocol (IP) to access multimedia services over broadband wireless connections. This paper proposes efficient approach for adaptation of MIPv6 using Diameter in roaming environments. Diameter is responsible for supporting IP mobility features such as home agent assignment and key distribution which is needed to securely send BU message to its home agent. Finally, we design authentication mechanism that mobile station can acquire IPv6 mobility support as well as network access in roaming environments.
