        Mobility Capability Negotiation as a 5G Mobility Pattern
                          draft-yan-dmm-man-10

Abstract

   Mobility support is an important network capability for mobile node,
   and 5G introduces the Mobility Pattern used by the Access and
   Mobility Management Function (AMF) to optimize mobility support
   provided to the UE.  More specific, The AMF determines and updates
   Mobility Pattern of the UE according to the subscription of the UE,
   statistics of the UE mobility, network local policy, and the UE
   assisted information, or any combination of them with the help of
   Network Data Analytics Function (NWDAF).  Based on different
   requirements, multiple mobility management protocols have been
   developed under IPv6.  However, different protocols have different
   functional requirements on the network element or the host and then a
   scheme should be used in order to support the negotiation and
   selection of adopted mobility management protocol when a host (or UE)
   accesses to a new network.  Besides, Mobility restrictions should
   also be considerred especially in 5G.  In this draft, this issue is
   analyzed.

1.  Introduction

   In order to clearly analyze the possible cases and actual
   requirements, the following category labels of the mobility
   management protocols are defined:

   *  Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) protocol: the mobility management scheme based
      on [RFC6275].
   *  Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) protocol: the mobility management
      scheme based on [RFC5213].
   *  MIPv6 suit protocols: based on MIPv6, there are multiple extension
      protocols have been standardized.  These protocols can be
      classified into two types: protocols for the function extension
      and protocols for the performance enhancement.  The protocols for
      the function extension are proposed to support some specific
      scenarios or functions, such as Dual-stack Mobile IPv6 (DSMIPv6)
      [RFC5555] for mobility of the dual-stack nodes, Multiple Care-of-
      address (MCoA) [RFC5648] for hosts with multiple access interfaces

Internet-Draft                   MCN-PS                    December 2022


      and Network Mobility (NEMO) [RFC3963] for mobility of sub-network.
      The other type is proposed to enhance the performance of the
      mobility management, such as Fast Mobile IPv6 (FMIP6) [RFC5568]
      for fast handover, Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 (HMIPv6) [RFC5380] for
      hierarchical mobility optimization.  In the MIPv6 suit protocols,
      location update is initiated by the host and the tunnel is also
      terminated at the host.
   *  PMIPv6 suit protocols: in order to reduce the protocol cost and
      enhance the handover performance further, the network-based
      mobility management protocols were proposed and PMIPv6 was
      standardized as a basis.  Based on PMIPv6, a series of its
      extensions were proposed, such as Dual-stack Proxy Mobile IPv6
      (DS-PMIPv6) [RFC5844], and Distributed Mobility Management Proxy
      Mobile IPv6 (DMM-PMIPv6) [RFC7333].  Be different from the MIPv6
      suit protocols, the location update in PMIPv6 suit protocols is
      triggered by the network entity and the tunnel is established
      between network entities.  Then the host needs to do nothing about
      the signaling exchange during the movement, particularly, the
      mobility is transparent to the IP layer of the host.
   *  Network-based protocols: generally, it means the mobility
      management protocols which do not require the involvement of the
      mobile node in order to accomplish mobility.  It includes PMIPv6
      suit protocols and other network-based solutions, such as GPRS
      Tunnelling Protocol (GTP) [TS.29274][TS.29281].
   *  Host-based protocols: generally, the mobility management protocols
      which require the involvement of the mobile node in order to
      accomplish mobility.  It includes MIPv6 suit protocols and other
      host-based solutions, such as Host Identity Protocol (HIP)
      [RFC7401] and IKEv2 Mobility and Multihoming Protocol (MOBIKE)
      [RFC4555].
   *  AMF: Access and Mobility Management Function, is responsible for
      processing the control signaling between the User Equipment (UE)
      and the core network.  It inherits the mobility management
      function and access control function.  It is the most important
      control module in the 5G core network.  It has the ability to
      process user registration requests, authenticate user identity,
      and when the UE sends the location movement, it handles the UE's
      location update and other functions.  Note that, UE is a general
      expression of 5G to describe the terminal device, and it is
      similiar to the host in Internet.  UE and host can be
      interchangeable in this draft.
   *  Mobility Pattern: The Mobility Pattern is a concept that may be
      used by the AMF to characterise and optimise the UE mobility with
      the aid of Network Data Analytics Function (NWDAF) [TS.23.288].
      Due to the uneven space-time distribution of mobile data traffic
      and frequent user switching in the 5G system, the 5G core network
      function still has the problem of unbalanced load.  Especially,
      when the UE accesses the 5G communication system or the UE moves

      between 5G base stations, the access network needs to allocate the
      access and handover requests of the UE to the AMF to carry and
      process them.  Allocating UEs to those with relatively large
      remaining resources can achieve load balancing of different AMFs,
      thereby effectively accelerating service response speed and
      improving the stability of the communication system.  To
      characterise and optimise the mobility pattern of UE, the
      subscription of the UE, statistics of the UE mobility, network
      local policy, and UE assisted information, or any combination of
      them should be analyzed according to 5G specification [TS.23.501]
      .
   *  Mobility Restriction: The Mobility Restriction provide the
      capability of restricting network access and mobility support of a
      host.  The traditional mobility support protocols mainly focus on
      the interaction procedure between host and network by defining the
      related protocol sepcification, but ignore the management of
      mobility support policy which is an import issue to provide the
      mobility support service in realistic network. 5G specification
      [TS.23.501] have classified the mobility restrictions into RAT
      restriction, Forbidden Area, Service Area Restrictions, Core
      Network type restriction and Closed Access Group information.
      Therefore, the mobility capability negotiation should consider
      these restrictions for future deployment requirements.
   *  Mobility Data Analytics: The Mobility Data Analytics is a concept
      derived from the NWDAF to provide the collection, storage,
      retrieval and analytics function of mobility related data, and it
      can be used to inference the mobility pattern for a given UE/host.
      The policies, principles, and algorithms of mobility capability
      negotiation can also be intergated into this function from the
      aspect of network management.

   Figure 1 illustrates the scopes of the above different category
   labels.

   In reality, the host-based protocols and network-based protocols will
   be co-existing and multiple protocol deamons will be configured on
   the network entities and host.  That means a scheme is needed to
   support the negotiation and selection of mobility management protocol
   when the host accesses into a new access network initially or
   handover happens [Paper-CombiningMobilityStandards].

   This document tries to present the principles for the protocol
   selection and analyze the possible scenarios which should be
   supported by the further solution.

2.  Motivations

   As illustrated above, these protocols may co-exist in reality and
   simultaneously be used in an access network or even the same entity
   to support ubiquitous connection and mobility support in 5G.  Due to
   their different requirements on the network entity or host, a scheme
   is needed to support the negotiation and selection of adopted
   mobility management protocol when the host accesses to a new network,
   as a implementation of Mobility Pattern.  Generally, two problems
   should be solved:

   *  What principles should be followed for the protocol negotiation
      and selection?
   *  What procedure should be adopted for the protocol negotiation and
      selection?

   This scheme is needed because network entity and host may have
   different capabilities and preferences (may be decided by the
   capability and mobility pattern of the host).  This scheme aims to
   guarantee that the optimum and most suitable protocol will be used,
   although the selection procedure and notification scheme can be
   implementation-dependent.

3.  Possible Cases

   From both host and network aspects, their capabilities of mobility
   management may have multiple cases as shown in Figure 2.  We mainly
   analyze that host and network support single protocol for clear
   description, if multiple protocols are supported simultaneously by
   the host or network side, multiple cases exist at the same time but
   the logic is same as that in the case with single protocol supported.
   Specifically, the following cases should be considered.

   1) Network supports network-based protocol, host supports network-
   based protocol

   In this case, there are the following sub-cases:

   a) Host supports PMIPv6 suit protocol, Network supports PMIPv6 suit
   protocol

   *  if host supports PMIPv6 and network supports PMIPv6, PMIPv6 is
      selected.
   *  if host supports PMIPv6 and network supports extended PMIPv6
      protocol, extended PMIPv6 protocol is selected if no host
      involvement is needed, otherwise the plain PMIPv6 is selected (we
      assume that the extension protocols are backward-compatible with
      the related plain protocol).
   *  if host supports extended PMIPv6 protocol and network supports
      PMIPv6, PMIPv6 is selected (we assume that the extension protocols
      are backward-compatible with the related plain protocol).
   *  if host supports extended PMIPv6 protocol and network supports
      extended PMIPv6 protocol, the identical extension protocol is
      selected, otherwise, PMIPv6 is selected (we assume that the
      extension protocols are backward-compatible with the related plain
      protocol).

   *  if host supports extended MIPv6 protocol and network supports
      other network-based protocol, other network-based protocol is
      selected if no host involvement is needed, otherwise failure.

   c) Host supports other host-based protocol, Network supports PMIPv6
   suit protocol

   *  if host supports other host-based protocol and network supports
      PMIPv6, PMIPv6 is selected in default, otherwise failure.
   *  if host supports other host-based protocol and network supports
      extended PMIPv6 protocol, extended PMIPv6 protocol is selected if
      no host involvement is needed, otherwise failure.

   d) Host supports other host-based protocol, Network supports other
   network-based protocol

   *  other network-based protocol is selected if no host involvement is
      needed, otherwise failure.

   4) Network supports host-based protocol, host supports host-based
   protocol

   In this case, there are the following sub-cases:

   a) Host supports MIPv6 suit protocol, Network supports MIPv6 suit
   protocol

   *  if host supports MIPv6 and network supports MIPv6, MIPv6 is
      selected.
   *  if host supports MIPv6 and network supports extended MIPv6
      protocol, MIPv6 is selected.
   *  if host supports extended MIPv6 protocol and network supports
      MIPv6, MIPv6 is selected.
   *  if host supports extended MIPv6 protocol and network supports
      extended MIPv6 protocol, the identical protocol is selected,
      otherwise MIPv6 is selected.

   b) Host supports MIPv6 suit protocol, Network supports other host-
   based protocol

   *  if host supports MIPv6 and network supports other host-based
      protocol, failure.
   *  if host supports extended MIPv6 protocol and network supports
      other host-based protocol, failure.

   c) Host supports other host-based protocol, Network supports MIPv6
   suit protocol

   *  if host supports other host-based protocol and network supports
      MIPv6, failure.
   *  if host supports other host-based protocol and network supports
      extended MIPv6 protocol, failure.

   d) Host supports other host-based protocol, Network supports other
   host-based protocol

   *  the identical other host-based protocol is selected, otherwise
      failure.

   5) Network supports host-based protocol and network-based protocol,
   host supports host-based protocol and network-based protocol

   *  follow the network based protocol in default if the host can
      support, otherwise select the protocol both network and host can
      support if host prefers.

4.  Protocol Selection Principles

   Two different schemes may be used for the protocol negotiation and
   selection: host-initiated and network-initiated.  Within the MIPv6/
   PMIPv6 protocols, the priority of the function-extension protocols
   should be higher than the performance-enhancement protocols.
   Generally, the following principles should be followed:

   *  In default: Network based scheme if it can be supported
   *  Priority 0: Follw mobility restriction
   *  Priority 1: Follow network capability
   *  Priority 2: Follow host preference
   *  Priority 3: Support the functional extensions
   *  Priority 4: Support the performance enhancements

5.  General Procedure

   The protocol negotiation may be included in the MN_ATTACH Function
   [MN-AR.IF] and the implementation may be based on a new signaling
   message or extended messages (e.g., ICMPv6, Diameter, and RADIUS).
   Besides these, some other protocols may also be used in some
   specified scenarios, such as extended IEEE 802.21 primitives.  Then
   the selected protocol will be included as a parameter in AMF during
   the node handover.

   The general procedure for the protocol selection should be:

   *  During initiation, network-based protocol may be used as a default
      mobility management protocol once the network supports it.
   *  If the host prefers host-based protocols, a negotiation is
      executed to handover from network-based protocol to host-based
      protocol.
   *  After initial attachment, a profile will be generated in the
      management store to record the selected or preferred protocol of
      this host.
   *  When the handover happens, the network will check the selected or
      preferred protocol during the authentication process.  But the
      network also needs to notify the host if the selected protocol
      cannot be supported herein.

   When the host accesses to the network, an authentication should be
   executed before the mobility management service is provided.  In
   order to support the mobility management protocol selection, a new
   information should be recorded by the network after the successful

Internet-Draft                   MCN-PS                    December 2022


   authentication during the initial attachment.  The newly introduced
   information in AMF shows the selected mobility management protocol
   and should be updated when the used protocol changes.

6.  Security Considerations

   Generally, this function will not incur additional security issues.
   The detailed influence should be analyzed in the future.

7.  IANA Considerations

   A new authentication option or other signaling message option may be
   used based on the specific implementation.
