NEC Europe Ltd announced the successful completion of the three-year “Moby Dick Project”, aimed at developing a seamless converged mobile network architecture based on Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). | ||
| The project was born amid the hyperbole of UMTS licence sales in 2000. The Moby Dickparadigm was to be based entirely on the Internet, with obvious cost advantages for operators and users, integrating licensed and unlicensed radio access networks. The MobyDickgroup decided that the IP layer would be directly on top of TD-CDMA. The TD-CDMA interface and the radio link protocol would exist but other network elements, such as RNC, HLR, VLR, SGSN, GGSN are replaced by functionally IP-based equivalents – MIPv6 home agents and access routers, AAA Servers and QoS brokers. The data transmission is pure IPv6 from end-to-end without a tunnelling protocol (like GTP), offering significant advantages and simplified inter-technology handovers.
