  This document explores the different deployment scenarios of NEMO from the
  perspective of consumer electronics.  This mainly entails a personal
  device, called the Personal Mobile Router, as the primary node which
  a user utilizes to allow the user's other devices to communicate with other
  nodes in the global Internet.  This is detailed in <xref target="sec:deploy"/>.
  From these deployments, a set of requirements is inferred in <xref target="sec:req"/>.

<section anchor='sec:deploy'
	title="Deployments of Personal Mobile Router">

<t>
  The Personal Mobile Router is generally envisaged as a mobile communications device, 
  most probably a cellular handphone, with embedded router functionality so as to
  allow other personal devices (such as MP3 Players, Digital Cameras) to access the 
  global Internet.  
  In such a deployment, it is expected for the Personal Mobile Router
  to provide all the routing capabilities of the personal area network.
  This means that one would generally not expect devices (i.e. LFNs)
  such as digital camera or music players to have routing capabilities.  
  In other words, LFNs are envisaged as simple IPv6 hosts.
</t>
<t>
  However, it is possible for there to be a Local Mobile Node (MNN) 
  in the personal area network. For instance, a laptop or a WLAN-enabled PDA 
  can break off from the personal area network and connect to the Internet 
  on its own.  Thus, the device becomes a MIPv6 host, with its home address 
  configured from the Mobile Network Prefix of the personal area network.
</t>
<t>
  This section illustrates three different deployment scenarios
  with respect to the Personal Mobile Router.  First is a simple personal
  area network where NEMO services is provided by a service provider 
  (such as an telecommunications operator).  Next is the deployment
  where the Personal Mobile Router is docked within a car and serves as
  an additional Mobile Router for the car network.  The last scenario
  is the case where the Personal Mobile Router obtains a network prefix
  not directly from its Internet service providers.  Instead, the 
  network prefix is allocated from the user's residence.
</t>

<vspace blankLines='1'/>

<section anchor='sec:deploy.PAN'
	title="Simple Personal Area Network">

<!-- scenario -->
<t>
  The simplest deployment is when the Personal Mobile Router is simply used to 
  provide Internet access to other devices in a user's personal area network.
  This is the case where the user subscribes to a mobility service provider
  that allocates a network prefix for the user's personal area network.
  One example of this is the 3GPP Personal Network Management services 
  <xref target="3GPP.TS-22.259"/>.
</t>

<!-- Usage -->
<t>
  For this scenario, typical communications will be audio/video streaming from a multimedia
  content server to the music/video player in the user's personal area network.
  This is a case of communications between a LFN with a CN in the global internet.

  An alternative situation will be communications between devices from two (or more)
  different personal area networks.  For example, two different users may engage in
  a game with their personal entertainment devices (such as Nintendo or Play Station
  portables), or share their audio files stored in their music players.  This is a case of
  communications between two LFNs from different NEMO.

  An interesting scenario of a Personal Area Network that is beginning to emerge
  is where the Personal Area Network is composed of a Personal Mobile Router 
  and wearable sensors.  Typical deployment <xref target="Paper.HealthGear"/>
  would be for a patient who wears 
  wearable sensors that monitor his/her physical conditions (eg., heartbeat, 
  body temperature, blood pressure, etc) periodically and transmit the 
  measurement to a hospital server through the Personal Mobile Router.  This is a case 
  of communications between LFNs and a CN wherein the main traffic from the
  LFN to the CN.

   A more complex use case for Personal Area Network can be described
   as a dynamic change (scenario) between two different Personal Area
   Network situations having the same entities.  Each entity dynamically 
   changes its role (from, for example, MR to LFN), and, more importantly,
   the routing task is moved from one entity to another.
</t>
<t>
   Consider a Personal Area Network built from one PDA and one laptop.  
   In the first situation, the laptop is the Mobile Router.  It uses its WiMax
   interface to connect to the Internet and its WiFi interface to
   offer access to the PDA.  Following this, a second situation is
   formed where the PDA connects its 3G interface to the Internet
   (becoming the Mobile Router) and gives access to the laptop over
   WiFi.  This is illustrated in <xref target='fig:switch-MR'/> below.
</t>

]]></artwork>
</figure>

<t>
   Both these situations can exist independently, as there are existing software 
   that is currently supporting these.  For example, both Microsoft Windows XP
   (laptop) and Windows Mobile (PDA) have the ability to connect one
   interface to Internet and offer access over the other interface.
</t>
<t>
   However, the automatic change between these two situations is not
   possible without user intervention.  The issues around this relate
   to interface configuration, default route configuration and others.
   If Mobile IP is used then there are additional issues with respect
   to pre-established behavior (eg. use or do not use tunnels).
</t>
<t>
   An example application where this support is needed is described next.
   The scenario above describes the movement of the main routing task from the
   laptop to the PDA.  The routing task (run Mobile IP and NEMO, and
   hide the LFN from mobility events) can be very consuming and can
   compete with user interface events.  For example, a user of a
   laptop and PDA sets up the laptop as MR and PDA as LFN.  The user continues
   editing a document on the laptop.  Then, another user arrives with
   a laptop and needs access.  At this point the first user is
   actually interested in making the PDA to be MR (and not his/her
   laptop) thus avoiding being disturbed by the more consuming routing
   task of laptop (routing for two users is doubled).
</t>
<t>
   Depending on the communicating applications, these kinds of
   scenarios needing dynamic change of role of the entity performing
   the routing task can be very numerous.

<section anchor='sec:deploy.CAR'
	title="Personal Mobile Router in a Car">

<!-- scenario -->
<t>
  A second scenario involving the Personal Mobile Router is when the user docks
  the Personal Mobile Router into a car network.  This allows the communications devices
  in the vehicle to use the Personal Mobile Router to access information from the
  Internet.  It also allows the personal devices in the personal area network to use the
  Mobile Router in the vehicle network to communicate with correspondent nodes on
  the Internet.  In other words, the two mobile networks (personal area network and
  vehicle network) merges to form a multihomed network.
</t>

<!-- Usage -->
<t>
  There are two possible configurations that could arise.  The first possible 
  configuration is where the car sensors and automotive devices are connected to 
  Car Mobile Router using a wired medium (such as the Controller Area Network, etc), 
  and the personal devices are connected to the Personal Mobile Router using a 
  wireless medium (such as the Bluetooth or Ultra Wide Band).  The Personal Mobile
  Router is connected to the Car Mobile Router via a docking mechanism installed 
  in the car.  This is illustrated in <xref target='fig:car-net-1'/> below.

</figure>

<t>
  In such a merged network, the vehicle network devices and the personal area network devices
  will continue to use their own original network prefixes to communicate with external
  nodes.  Hence, one way to view this is to treat it as if the two Mobile Routers
  attaches to each other, and uses each other as an additional access router.
  This implies that the a communication between a MNN and a correspondent node may go 
  through two Mobile Routers (e.g. the communication from the car navigation device
  to a traffic condition server passes through first the Mobile Router of the car, and then
  the Personal Mobile Router).  Hence, this can be viewed as a case of a nested NEMO.
</t>

<t>
  A second possibility is that the car network and the personal area network
  fused into a single network with two mobile routers.  One way this can happen
  is when the two networks use the same wireless technology such as Bluetooth or
  Wireless Universal Serial Bus as the interconnection medium.  This is shown in
  <xref target='fig:car-net-2'/> below.  This is a typical NEMO with multiple
  mobile routers and prefixes <xref target='RFC4980'/>.  
  The car devices are free to configure an address from the 
  Mobile Network Prefix of the Personal Mobile Router to communicate with 
  other correspondent nodes in the Internet (such as a realtime traffic monitoring server).
  Similarly, the personal devices are free to configure an address from the 
  Mobile Network Prefix of the Car Mobile Router to communicate with 
  other correspondent nodes in the Internet (such as a You-Tube video server).

<t>
  When the car network and the personal area network fused into a single network,
  LFNs in this single network can communicate with each other. For example, a sensor which 
  was a LFN of the personal area network senses the body temperature of the driver
  and send this information to the activator which was a LFN of the car network
  to make the car environment comfortable for the driver. Since the car network
  and the personal area network became a single network, this communication is a case
  of intra-NEMO communication.

<section anchor='sec:deploy.HOME'
	title="Residence Home Network">

<!-- scenario -->
<t>
  This scenario is a special deployment as it differs from the usual subscription model
  that is more commonly used.  Basically, in this scenario, the home network of the
  Personal Mobile Router (as far as NEMO is concerned) is literally the "home" -- i.e.
  the residence of the user.  It is envisioned that the user deploys a residence-wide 
  network with a set-top box serving as the gateway.  This set-top box is connected to
  the Internet via broadband connection (cable or ADSL) and obtains an IPv6 prefix from
  the ISP.  Part of the IPv6 prefix obtained is then assigned as the prefix for the user's
  personal are network (i.e. the Mobile Network Prefix for the personal area network).
  The set-top box is thus configured as the home agent of the Personal Mobile Router.
</t>

<!-- Usage -->
<t>
  Typically, the devices in the personal area network (i.e. LFNs) would communicate 
  mostly with other devices in the residence network (e.g. personal video player 
  accessing movie stored in a digital video recorder in the residence).  In such
  situation, route optimization is redundant.  However,
  there exist situations where multiple personal area networks 
  (each belonging to different family members) belong to the same residence network.
  Devices from these different personal area networks may communicate with each other
  often enough.  In the latter situation, it is a case of two MNNs from different
  NEMO communicating with each other.

<section anchor='sec:req'
	title="Characteristics of Route Optimization for Consumer Electronics">

<t>
  Not all communications involving personal area network require route optimization.
  There are, however, two particular use cases where route optimization is highly
  preferable.  The first use case is when devices in a personal area network
  are used for real time interactive applications which are sensitive to round trip 
  delays.  Examples include voice-over-IP communications and multiplayer gaming 
  sessions.  This usually entails communications between two devices from two different
  personal area network, as illustrated in <xref target="sec:deploy.PAN"/> and
  <xref target="sec:deploy.HOME"/>.  In such cases, there might be two different 
  home agents involved (one for each NEMO), hence making the improvement in delay
  reduction of route optimization more significant.
  The second use case is when the home network is congested, or otherwise 
  bandwidth-limited.  One example is the residence home network as described in 
  <xref target="sec:deploy.HOME"/>.   Most broadband residence access
  are asymmetrical (i.e. the uplink bandwidth is much smaller than the downlink
  bandwidth), making it unsuitable for the home agent (e.g. set-top box) to forward
  large amount of packets to Personal Mobile Routers.
</t>
<t>
  Where route optimization is highly preferable, we can infer the following 
  requirements (denoted by "Req") in <xref target="sec:req.req"/> and 
  desirable features (denoted by "Des") in <xref target="sec:req.des"/>
  from the deployment scenarios described in <xref target="sec:deploy"/>.

    Devices in the personal area network are envisaged as simple IPv6 node.
    The Personal Mobile Router is expected to provide route optimization

    The Personal Mobile Router is a small mobile device (e.g. handphone)

    the MR.

    Processing load here is used to generally refer to the

    A quantitative requirement on what is the acceptable increase in processing
    load is impossible to be specified; however, one possibility is to use 
    the current Mobile IPv6 Route Optimization as a benchmark reference.  
    A processing load increase for route optimization of a session is acceptable 
    if it is comparable to the amount of additional processing for Mobile IPv6 
    Route Optimization (i.e. the CoTI/CoT and HoTI/HoT signaling and adding of

    <t hangText="Rationale:">
    <vspace blankLines='1'/>
    Security is a prime consideration in the deployment of Personal
    Mobile Router, since the personal area network may store private 
    information.  In general, a personal area network would not allow
    external devices to attach to the mobile network, hence the Personal
    Mobile Router will the most important gateway in which security
    of the personal area network is enforced.  As such, any route
    optimization solution should not expose the Personal Mobile Router
    to additional risk as compared to NEMO Basic Support.
    <vspace blankLines='1'/>
    Particularly, it must not be possible for other nodes to claim 
    ownership of the Mobile Network Prefix (in entirety or in parts).
    Additionally, denial-of service attacks on the Personal Mobile 
    Router (e.g. by forcing the Personal Mobile Router to send a huge
    amount of signaling packets or to maintain a large number of 
    signaling states) must not be possible.

  A route optimization solution MUST NOT break or prevent the use of
  existing protocols 
  <list style="hanging">
    <t hangText="Rationale:">
    <vspace blankLines='1'/>
    As LFNs are assumed to be unmodified (see Req1), the communications
    protocols used by them must not be modified as well.  A route 
    optimization solution used by the Personal Mobile Router must not
    cause any communications between the LFN and its correspondent node 
    to stop working.  In other words, LFNs should be able to continue 
    to use any protocols that they are able to use without route optimization.
    This includes IPSec and other IP layer signaling protocols.

<section anchor='sec:req.des1'
	title="Des1: MR-to-MR Route Optimization">
<t>
  As seen in <xref target="sec:deploy"/>, most of the communications 
  we envisaged are in the form of a MNN communicating with another MNN
  in different personal area networks.  As we do not expect MNNs to be 
  involved in route optimization signaling, a suitable route optimization
  would likely be between the two MRs.  This way, correspondent nodes would 
  not be impacted.
</t>

<section anchor='sec:req.des2'
	title="Des2: Nested-NEMO Route Optimization">
<t>
  In <xref target="sec:deploy.CAR"/>, a scenario is illustrated where 
  the Personal Mobile Router is attaching to the car mobile router for
  Internet access (and vice versa).  If the car mobile router performs
  route optimization for its network, then the Personal Mobile Router
  can run a separate route optimization session to achieve fully-optimized
  route.  Alternatively, it is also possible for the Personal Mobile Router
  to support some mechanism that achieve nested-NEMO route optimization.
</t>
<t>
  This desired feature can be generally extended to other forms of nesting
  where the user brings a PAN into a larger mobile network, such as in a
  plane, a train, or a ship.  It is desired that a route optimization
  solution should yield a fully optimized route regardless of whether
  the Mobile Router of the larger mobile network performs route optimization
  or not.
</t>
</section> <!-- Des2 -->

<section anchor='sec:req.des3'
	title="Des3: Intra-NEMO Route Optimization">
<t>
  In <xref target="sec:deploy.CAR"/>, a scenario is illustrated where 
  nodes in a the car network and nodes in the personal area network 
  communicates with each other.   It is desirable that any route optimization 
  solution would work for intra-NEMO communications as well.  It will be
  even preferable if such intra-NEMO route optimizations can be achieved
  without sending signalling messages out of the mobile network.
</t>
</section> <!-- Des3 -->

<section anchor='sec:req.des4'
	title="Des4: Separability">
<t>
  As route optimization would inevitably increase the processing load of 
  the Personal Mobile Router, it would be desired that the user be able to
  select route optimization for some traffic and use the bi-directional
  tunnel with home agent for other traffic.  In other words, a route 
  optimization solution should preferably not be a "all-or-nothing"
  mechanism.  It should be possible to have both route optimized flows and 
  non-optimized sessions simultaneously.
</t>
</section> <!-- Des4 -->

<section anchor='sec:req.des5'
	title="Des5: Multihoming">
<t>
  As described in <xref target="sec:deploy.PAN"/>, it is likely for a 
  PAN to be equipped with multiple access technologies.  Thus, it is
  desirable that a route optimization solution be able to make use of
  multiple access networks when available.  It is also desirable to have 
  this feature regardless of whether all the available access to external
  networks reside in one or multiple devices.  For instance, in 
  <xref target="sec:deploy.CAR"/>, a scenario is described where there
  are two Mobile Routers in the merged network.
