Abstract
Mobile IP has been designed within the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to serve the needs of the burgeoning population of mobile computer users who wish to connect to the Internet and maintain communications as they move from place to place. The basic protocol is described, with details given on the three major component protocols: agent advertisement, registration, and tunneling. Then route optimization procedures are outlined, and further topics of current interest are described. The available tunneling mechanisms are shown, which the home agent uses to forward datagrams from the home network to the mobile computer. Having covered the details of the base mobile IP specification, we then describe further protocol messages which help to decrease the inefficiency associated with inserting the home agent in the routing path of data destined for mobile computers. Finally, we summarize and discuss the current problems facing mobile IP, as well as a few areas of active protocol development.

Improving the performance of reliable transport protocols in mobile computing environments

TL;DR: This work shows how current TCP implementations introduce unacceptably long pauses in communication during cellular handoffs, and proposes an end-to-end fast retransmission scheme that can reduce these pauses to levels more suitable for human interaction.

IMHP: a mobile host protocol for the Internet

TL;DR: A protocol that allows transparent routing of IP packets to mobile hosts in the Internet, while using only the mobile host's home IP address, which quickly converges to optimal routing following the movement of a mobile host, while preserving the current level of security in the internet.
