Systems and/or methods for anchor node selection in networks using distributed mobility management (DMM)
Abstract
Systems and/or methods may be used to select an anchor node. For example, a device may detect or more anchor nodes that may be available for the device to connect to. The device may determine whether to handover to one of the detected anchor nodes based on capability information including load information of the anchor nodes. The device may connect to a detected anchor node based on the capability information including the load information. The detected anchor nodes may be grouped and the device may select and connect to an anchor node based on the groupings. The device may also store a history including a route of the device and anchor nodes on the route and may use such information to determine whether to connect to detected anchor node. The device may further use proximity to content to determine whether to connect to a detected anchor node.
