摘要:
A method and apparatus for robust mobility management in a network having a mobile node (MN), a mobility anchor point (MAP), a correspondent node (CN1, CN2), a home agent (HA) and an access router (AR1) and operating under a hierarchical protocol. The mobile node (MN) sends the address (102, 104) of the mobility anchor point (MAP) to the correspondent node (CN1, CN2) and sends the address (106, 108) of the mobile node (MN) on the network of the access router (AR) to the home agent (HA) and to the mobility anchor point (MAP). When failure of the mobility anchor point occurs, the mobile node recovers from the failure by selecting a new mobility anchor point or operating under a non-hierarchical protocol. Failure is detected by an intermediate router or by a correspondent node when messages fail to reach the mobility anchor point. The mobile node (MN) detects failure of the mobility anchor point when messages unexpectedly arrive via the home agent.

Various embodiments are described for facilitating network mobility in communication networks with an aim toward enhancing the scalability of MIP. Generally, in most of these embodiments, a network node (121) sends a message to a network device (131) to establish a data path for a remote unit (101) served by the network node. This message comprises a source link layer address which is associated with the remote unit. The message may or may not be sent in response to receiving signaling to facilitate wireless connectivity of a remote unit via the network node. In addition, the network device to which the message is sent may be an access router (AR) or a foreign agent (FA) of the remote unit.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for handing over a mobile node from a source access point to a target access point is provided herein. During operation the source access point will create handover messages on behalf of the mobile node. When the source access point detects that handover is taking place, the source access point will transmit the appropriate handover message to the mobile node's anchor node. Because the source access point may not have the necessary security credentials to create messages on behalf of the mobile node, in an alternate embodiment of the present invention, the messages are created by the mobile node and stored at the source access point until needed.
摘要:
A method, device and system for allowing a mobile communication device, such as a DLNA/UPnP device, to continue to communicate with its local network, even when the mobile device leaves or loses contact with the local network. The method includes providing information to a remote access server to create a virtual mobile device in a local network. The virtual device communicates with other devices within the local network as if it is the actual mobile device. The remote access server is configured to route data packets between the virtual device and the mobile device via a second network that does not rely on the mobile nodes connection to the local network. A public IP address of the remote access server provided to the mobile device before the device leaves the local network is used to communicate with the virtual device via an IP-based public network coupled to the local network.

A method and apparatus that provides services in a peer-to-peer communications network is disclosed. The method may include determining at least one group to which a first application is associated, determining if there is at least one second application in the group, and if there is a second application, then sharing information with the second application.

Disclosed are methods and apparatus for displaying a plurality of presentation elements to a user. A progress bar is displayed. A length of the progress bar is representative of a duration of a multimedia presentation. A communication box is also displayed. The communication box comprises a marker and a communication composed by an originator in relation to a certain point or time period within the multimedia presentation. The progress bar and the communication box are displayed such that the marker is in alignment with a position along the length of the progress bar that corresponds to the point or time period in the multimedia presentation in relation to which the communication was composed. The marker may be moved relative to the progress bar.
摘要:
A method for enabling communication between a companion device and a primary viewing device includes determining presence of the primary viewing device; and determining presence of the second viewing device. The method further comprises determining that the second viewing device is a companion to the primary viewing device and causes establishment of a viewing group that includes the primary viewing device and the second viewing device. A notification message is provided to the primary viewing device with information enabling the primary viewing device to determine that there is a companion device for it. Additionally, a notification message is provided to the second viewing device with information enabling the second device to determine it is a companion device for the primary viewing device.
摘要:
A service convergence fabric (103) is operably disposed between a plurality of independent access networks, control networks, and service networks (104) and a converged application layer (100). This service convergence fabric is then used (202) to receive a service request, process the service request, provide a corresponding response, and publish that response to facilitate the service request. Processing the service request can comprise processing the service request with respect to resources to support the service request, user session status as corresponds to the service request, and user preferences as correspond to the service request. Providing a response can comprise providing a response that comprises at least one of a processed service request and a converged response to the service request.
