Automatically Configuring the IP Addresses for Mobile Network in Collaborative Network

Collaborative network deploys devices with multiple interface on moving objects to combine the operator's networks to transmit user data in parallel which can achieve bandwidth aggregation and provide stable network access services for users. Before the collaborative network can work normally, it is necessary to configure IP addresses for each interface of network devices in different geographical locations. Existing configuration protocols can only realize the automatic configuration of the IP address of single interface devices in the same network segment. If the network devices are configured manually, the complex and error-prone manual configuration hinders the deployment of the collaborative network. In this paper, we propose an automatic IP address configuration mechanism that can complete the IP address request across network segments and the automatic configuration of the IP addresses of multiple interface devices in the network. The simulation results show that the proposed mechanism can complete the automatic configuration of IP addresses in the mobile network in a short period of time and is well adapted to complex mobile environment.
