[ns] Forcing wireless node to change base station

[kidA]

Hi,

I'm currently working on a wireless network load-balancing algorithm.
The scenario i createad is made up by a network controller node, linked
by a full duplex wired connection to some base stations. The controller
keeps track of each mobile node and decide whether to change the base
station of a mobile node in order to obtain a fair distribution of the
load among the base stations.

For the sake of simplicity, i suppose all mobile stations not to move
and that a mobile station can "see" all the base stations avaiable in
the scenario.

I want to force a mobile station to roam from a base station to another
one. I thought it was a good idea to exploit the mobile ip mechanism,
the only thing i had to do was to force it to start every time the
controller decide to change the mobile nodes distribution among the base
stations. I did several attempts, but did not succeeded in.
Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance.
