===== Nicholas de Laczkovich-Siddiqi: (Seminar) “Distributed / Dynamic Mobility Management (DMM) in User-Centric Networks” =====
==== Content ====

  * 
  * Mobility management: user/server centric
  * distribution: centralized, distribued, p2p
==== Presi ====
  * 

===== Denis Pozo Pardo: (Project) “User-Centric Distributed Mobility Management: P2P based Anchor Management” =====
==== Content ====

  * 3 layers: application -- chord ring -- 
    * chord ring: 
      * hashed data used for routing decision.
      * MA as a peer in p2p network. <-- MA as LMA (local mobility anchor) and MAG (mobile access gateway)??.
    * app layer: 
      * whihch LMA will be anchor for MN
      * MAG has a LMA table (Dist. Hashing table).

==== Presentation ====
  * pros
  * cons
    * fast sliding.
    * code presentation is not good, no one can read.


===== Constantin Gaul: (Project) “User-Centric Distributed Mobility Management: SIP based Anchor Management” =====
==== Content ====
  * integrate UPMT mobility and multi-homing.
  * Anchor node as a SIP element.
  * 

==== Presi ====
  * pros
    * use case explaination. better understanding.

===== Shristina Sthapit: (Seminar) “Handover Types and Decision Mechanisms” =====
==== Content ====
  * Handover magmt process
    * handover info gathering
    * decision: network selection
    * handover execution
 * HO info  
  * Frequency handover: intrafrequency/ interfrequency (CDMA)
  * No. of connections: hard handover (1 connection a time)/ soft handover (connected w. mult. cells).
  * Administrative domains: intra admim. / inter admin.
  * Necessity for handover: necessity for HO (obligatory, voluntary)/ Obligatory (
  * Network type: horizontal HO (same networking tech.)/ vertical HO (diff. network tech.)
  
  * dicision
    * depends on HO info and type of HO.
