摘要:
Methods and apparatus for network controlled mobile IP flow movement. An infrastructure node, such as a home agent, signals a mapping between care-of-addresses (CoAs) and flows to be transmitted from a mobile device in uplink communications. The CoA associated with each flow is determined from network, device, and/or flow information. A mobile node or mobile gateway receives the mapping and updates its local policy information. When a selected flow is to be transmitted in an uplink transmission, the local policy information is used to determine the CoA associated with the selected flow. The CoA is then used to determine an access network (or access path) on which the uplink transmission of the selected flow is to occur.

摘要:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate tunneling within wireless communication systems. Flow identification information is dynamically generated for data flows within a communication system. This flow identification information assists in determining appropriate flow specific policies to be applied with respective data flows. The flow identification information along with the flow specific policies can be communicated to an access mechanism which transmits the data flows in accordance with the flow specific policies. Different aspects relate to using source addresses in combination with the flow identification information for identifying different IP flows originating at a plurality of sources. The flow identification information also facilitates in verifying if different flows are transmitted in accordance with appropriate rules. The generated data flows are transmitted with respective flow identification information in order to facilitate the verification process.
摘要:
Methods and apparatus providing intelligent interface selection for legacy and non-legacy applications. The method includes intercepting a networking function call from an application desiring radio access, selecting a radio from a plurality of candidate radios based on selection criteria, and binding the radio to the application. To facilitate flow mobility, the method includes allocating an ephemeral port to the radio, generating a flow binding rule based only on the ephemeral port, and signaling the flow binding rule to a home agent.
摘要:
A mobile node receives access network-specific signaling that is related to an Internet Protocol (IP) flow. The mobile node decides which of multiple access networks to use to send the IP flow based on the access network-specific signaling. The access network-specific signaling may be received from an access network, and the mobile node may interpret the access network-specific signaling as a command to send the IP flow over that access network. The mobile node may update a forwarding policy at the mobile node to indicate that the IP flow should be sent over that access network.
摘要:
Systems and methods for quality of service control over multiple accesses, more particularly quality of service control over multiple accesses via enhanced quality of service rules. A policy rules and charging function, or similar network entity, can include an indicator in a set of quality of service rules that instructs an access gateway to either setup the quality of service resources/initiate bearer setup immediately, or store the quality of service rules until a request for the quality of service resources s received from the UE or another predetermined event occurs.

摘要:
Systems and methods are described that facilitate multiple registrations and flow based mobility in a wireless communication network. A flow routing component can be included in a mobile device, home agent/p-gateway, or a policy and charging rules function server that determines the manner in which to route one or more IP flows through a set of network access entry points. The flow routing component can determine the routing based on a set of policies and/or network data, such as quality of service requirements, bandwidth requirements, network congestion, currently active IP flows, and so forth.
