Abstract
This document discusses the problem and requirement of multicast
solution in the mobile networks. One current issue in mobile
multicast solution has been raised and requirements of mobile IPTV on
multicast mobility will also be summarized especially for some
mechanisms such as the tunneling, service capability and security
discussion which is basis of supporting the mobile IPTV applications.

1. Introduction
While more and more operators begin to provide the wireless broadband
network systems, the needs for multicast and and broadcast service in
mobile network become promising. Recently IPTV might become one of
the desirable applications for mobile network. Mobile IPTV service
is a kind of A/V services which are combined with interactive data
for the related or supplementary information of A/V program using bi-
directional wireless broadband links. User can enjoy the downlink
A/V stream and access more detailed or value-added information via
uplink simultaneously.
In the mobile network, Mobile IPv4 (MIPv4)[RFC3344], Mobile
IPv6[RFC3775], DSMIP6 [DSMIPv6] and PMIP6[Gundavelli08]is the basic
way to support IP mobility management. It allows the mobile
nodes(MN) to maintain the reachability while moving in the IP
network. After registration to home agent(HA), the packets destined
to MN could be routed correctly by using the tunneling mechanism,
while MN is away from the home network.
But the current IP mobility management mechanism lack of full support
of multicast service.This document will illustrate the main issue of
them. Since DSMIP6 is principally similar to MIP6, so it will not be
illustrated independently in this document.

2. IP mobility management multicast support in mobile network
2.1. Mobile IPTV multicast framework
ITU make detailed description on IPTV architecture and multicast
framewroks. Mobile IPTV content delivery infrastructure may consists
of four different layers, i.e. Content Source, Core, Metro(Edge),
and Access. Content source is where IPTV service contents are
originated and they can be placed in either inside or outside of
delivery infrastructure. Core is service/network provider_is
backbone infrastructure. Metro, in other words Aggregation or Edge,
is where it connects and aggregates between core and access. Access
is user domain that includes last mile.
The transport profile of Mobile IPTV are shown in the picture below:
Wired or Wireless

In the case of IPTV support in mobile network, such architecture will
be considered and mapped to the network entity of IP mobility
management.
2.2. Mobile IPv4 support Multicast
Section 4.3 and 4.4 of [RFC3344] discuss the support of multicast and
broadcast. In order to receive multicast packet through it's home
network, a mobile node MUST join the multicast group in one of two
ways. One is based on co-located care-of address, the other is based
on the home address (foreign agent care-of address). In both cases,
a mobile node tunnels IGMP messages to its home agent, the home agent

forwards multicast datagrams down the tunnel to the mobile node.

+----+ | FA | | HA | V
| MN2|---------------|======|=============| |-----
+----+ +------+ +------+
Figure 1: Nested tunneling in MIP4 for Multicast
In the case of co-located care-of address, the home agent SHOULD
tunnel the datagram to this care-of address directly; In the case of
foreign agent care-of address, the home agent MUST first encapsulate
the datagram in a unicast datagram addressed to the mobile node's
home address and then MUST tunnel the resulting datagram (nested
tunneling) to the mobile node's care-of address.If there are more
than 500 MNs under the same FA, there will be 500 tunnels between HA
and FA to transmit multicast packets.
2.3. Mobile IPv6 support Multicast
In this document, the analysis on multicast of mobile IPv6 will be
made only based on mobile IPTV. The Home Agent(HA) may be part of
the core function in the mobile IPTV framework. The edge function
normally coould be considered as the access gateway(AGW) in the
deployment of mobile IPv6 in mobile network.

mobile IPv6. It's useful to do synchronous actions for incoming
mobile IPTV service events.
By the way, it is recommended that DSMIP6 has similar situation, and
Proxy mobile IPv6 will be described in a seperate document.

3. Security Considerations
Multicast security is one of the most crucial issues in mobile IPTV
service such that it is required to provide security capabilities to
protect mobile IPTV multicast network from any malicious attempts
caused by multicast security holes such as denial of service attacks.
After the integration IP mobility management like MIP4, MIP6 with the
multicast service, it should not depreciate the security protection
of the basic IP mobility management mechanism.
