CONCEPT OF CELLULAR INTERNET PROTOCOL

ABSTRACT
Recent initiatives to add mobility to the Internet and packet data services to third generation cellular systems are being considered by emerging mobile service providers as possible candidate solutions for the delivery of IP data to mobile users.  Though it has a number of shortcomings, Mobile IP represents a simple and scalable global mobility solution but is not appropriate in support of fast and seamless handover control.  In contrast, third generation cellular systems are built with over smooth mobility support as they work on complex networking infrastructure that lacks the flexibility offered by IP-based solutions.  In this paper the overview of Cellular IP is carefully and extensively treated. Cellular IP combines the capability of cellular networks to provide smooth fast handover and efficient location management of active and idle mobile users with the inherent flexibility, robustness and scalability found in IP networks.
