| Abstract | This paper deals with the problem of Mobility Anchor Point (MAP) location and assignments of Access Router to MAPs. We first analyze the significant impact that the MAP location has on the routing and mobility overhead cost. We subsequently formulate the problem as a generalized facility location problem that takes into account the routing cost from the gateway to the ARs and also the inter and intra mobility management overhead due to handovers. |
