They are designed to be placed in a fixed location. However, their use would also be interesting in mobile environments such as public transportation systems. This paper studies the mobility limitations at the layer 3 and suggests an approach to support mobility on femtocell networks. This solution employs the protocols already defined in the femtocell architecture, minimizing thus the impact on it.application/pdfeng© IARIAFemtocell architectureMobile femtocellMOBIKEIKEv2IPsecSupporting L3 femtocell mobility using the MOBIKE protocolconference outputTelecomunicacionesopen access
