Abstract IP micro-mobility is one of the mobility management methods that can improve the communication quality during movement of mobile nodes. Handoff management is its key technology. In this paper, a comprehensive survey on IP micro-mobility handoff management is given. A new classification of handoff management, from the viewpoint of relationship and interaction between network-level handoff and data-link-level handoff, is introduced. Further, the characteristics and problems of some representative IP micro-mobility handoff protocols are analyzed in detail, and the comparison results are given also. Finally, future research directions of IP micro-mobility handoff management are discussed.
