MOBILITY OF IPV6 IN 2G AND 3G NETWORKS

Implementation of Mobile IPv6 in 2G and 3G mobile networks primarily requires user plane (application layer) IPv6 support from the network, installing a home agent (HA) router in the home network, using mobile terminals supporting Mobile IPv6 and implementing IP Security infrastructure, because Mobile IPv6 uses IPsec for all its security requirements.

The home agent can be located in the network operator’s network or some other network (e.g. company intranet, home network, etc.). In both cases, the GGSN elements do not necessarily need to be involved with the Mobile IPv6 protocol. A feasible place to install the home agent could be near the operator’s network edge router.
