Abstract
This article presents the Terminal Independent Mobility for IP (TIMIP), whi ch is a new architecture for IP mobility in wireless access networks. TIMIP is based on principles similar to those in the CIP and HAWAII architecture s proposed at IETF and equally suited for micromobility scenarios. With TIM IP, terminals with legacy IP stacks have the same degree of mobility as ter minals with mobility-aware IP stacks. Nevertheless, it still uses MIP for m acromobility scenarios. In order to support seamless handoff, TIMIP uses co ntext-transfer mechanisms compatible with those currently in discussion at the IETF SeaMoby group.
